MEDICE

Description of the Project

Female migrants living in the Czech Republic have more difficulty in accessing health care. Often, this is due to the language barrier and a lack of awareness concerning the Czech healthcare system. According to the Report “Promoting the health of refugees and migrants” (WHO, 2017) women and children are particularly vulnerable to health problems. In light of this, MEDICE aims to:

  • help women understand how the health care system works in five European countries (Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Iceland, Poland, and the United Kingdom)
  • support them in developing health care vocabulary
  • facilitate women’s contact with doctors and medical staff

Target Group

The project’s target group is mainly female migrants, but also educators, language teachers, non-profit organisations, and volunteers involved in the integration of immigrants, and health care providers.

Outputs

  • Healthcare system e-map of Iceland, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Poland and the UK, an online resource about how the health system works in these countries
  • E-glossary with terms connected to health issues.
  • Women Healthcare Multi-language Package on women’s health, diseases and lifestyle
  • Infant and Child Healthcare Multi-language Package with expressions, multi-word lexical units, and typical sentences on children’s healthcare issues
  • Multimedia Mentoring Guide with a series of modules for training migrant women to act as healthcare mentors within their communities
  • Online Open Educational Resource Database

All outputs will be available in 15 languages: English, French, Czech, Polish, Lithuanian, Greek, Icelandic, Arabic, Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian, Vietnamese, Armenian, Thai, and Afrikaans.
