Understanding Francophone Health Networks
Francophone Health Networks (Réseaux de santé francophones) are organizations that facilitate access to health services in French. They are essential for Francophone im/migrant, particularly for those with disabilities, as they guarantee access to adapted services in their language. For instance, a person who uses a wheelchair can access a re-adaptation centre that offers services in French, or a hard of hearing person can get support to navigate the health system.
