Question

what are the legal implications when using a familymember versus an interpretor in the hospital setting?

Answer 1

• Interpreter in a hospital is important as the so many communities with wide languages have been migrating to developed countries.
• The people breaking the walls of the countries for their betterment and migrating.
• These communities have their own language and cannot speak English properly.
• If the communication is not good between the patient or patient family members and the hospital professionals, it leads to complications to the patient.
• Everyone has right to live, get the education, have the medical benefits irrespective of their creed, color or nationalism.
• So, the hospital should provide interpreter to non-English speaking family member to communicate properly to a doctor about the health condition of an individual.
• Continuous training to interpreters is necessary according to change in the medical laws of a country.
