Each public hospital establishes a list of the languages spoken by the members of its staff, whether they belong to the medical, administrative or technical staff. These persons are called as and when needed to speak a minority language with patients. This system entails local disparities, since not all minorities are equally spread over the national territory, but no exemplary incidents or cases have been made public. |
