Why are we Still Sick of It?
We are still sick of it…
Did you know, it was ten years ago that SignHealth published the Sick Of It report? The research showed how deaf people have poorer health in the UK compared to hearing people.
Barriers in health services lead to inequalities. It’s hard to make an appointment, to get an interpreter, or to get health information in BSL.
No more excuses and no more barriers!
We need healthcare without barriers. With communication access in place, we can eliminate health inequality for deaf people.
By donating today you are helping someone like Gloria to know and demand their health access rights. You are also helping to make sure that health professionals, like Ian’s doctor, understand those rights.
