Summary Translation: Anam Kiani - The Réseau santé albertain and Alberta Health Services are improving access to health services in French and are showing solidarity with all the francophone organizations. Director of the Réseau santé albertain Paul Denis thanked all health care providers. He particularly appreciated the remarkable work of Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Deena Hinshaw and of Alberta Health Services in keeping Francophones informed. He emphasized that "Alberta Health Services have made a considerable effort to provide services and information in French during the pandemic. AHS has translated many of its COVID-19 resources in the most in-demand languages, and French was one of the first languages in which the material was made available. They published seven documents and a video on social distancing in French, according to Media Relations Consultant Sabrina Atwal. New advice becoming available is sent to translation services right away. AHS also offers medical interpretation services 24/7 in 300 languages.
