The aim of this collection is to enhance communication between healthcare providers and Hazaragi-speaking patients, particularly those who have recently arrived in Canada or prefer to discuss their health issues in Hazaragi.
As the Hazara immigrant population in Canada grows, it's essential for both healthcare providers and medical interpreters to understand the unique dialects of the Hazara community, especially concerning the health of women and children. This collection is designed to be a valuable resource that improves healthcare outcomes and promotes understanding and respect within Canada’s diverse communities.
Furthermore, we hope it will enable healthcare professionals, translators, and Hazara community members to engage in healthcare interactions with greater confidence, empathy, and cultural awareness. By working together, we aim to ensure equitable access to healthcare services and support the well-being of all individuals, irrespective of their linguistic or cultural backgrounds.
