Abstract: | In Switzerland, as in other countries, deaf and hearing impaired patients experience deficits in accessing the healthcare system (Binggeli 2015). Too little information on health issues is available to them. Communication with doctors is difficult and there is a lack of sign language interpreters. Deaf and hearing impaired patients report little satisfaction with medical services. Even though their legal status is well regulated, the laws are poorly implemented and discrimination persists. There is a lack of public and professional awareness of the barriers deaf patients have to overcome to obtain information about medical issues and health facilities. To counter this, healthcare staff should be educated about the situation of hearing impaired patients, and training in dealing with hearing impaired patients and sign language must be provided. Hearing impaired and deaf medical staff could promote understanding but are under-represented in the healthcare system. |
