"We saw there was a big problem," said Carlos Mediano, who represents Medicus Mundi-Spain as vice president of the Executive Board of Medicus Mundi-International. "There were large pockets of poverty in indigenous areas; there were cultural barriers to access." In other words, people were not going to health centres, even if they were located near where they lived. "They do not trust them." Overcoming those barriers can require closing cultural gaps. One way to do that was to train health professionals to speak the language of the indigenous people they were serving. Photo: WHO/L. Cipriani | Facebook". www.facebook.com. Retrieved 2022-12-16.
