Rahma

Integration that remains one-sided must fail. If the entire system, here the health system, is made inclusive, then everything becomes easier. Rahma’s intermediaries – conversant in cultures, traditions, religions – are like bridges, with integrative effect, between women from migrant backgrounds and qualified personnel. Both sides learn to converge. Doctors and care personnel will no longer fail their patients, and these will no longer be afraid to approach the alien care and health system. Enough remains to be done: to further add to the more than 700 clients accompanied, in 8 languages, in a year; to extend Rahma’s intervention zone; and to upgrade employment conditions of the presently six intermediaries.
