CareNet is a charity organisation established 19 August 2003 for the primary purpose of promoting refugee & Asylum seekers health and well being and the provision of culturally appropriate and competent service. Crucial to its mission is to support refugee and none refugee community members particularly those from East Africa although not exclusively.
MULTICULTURAL HEALTH INFORMATION SERVICE
Multicultural Health and education Services provides information and services to assist health professionals to communicate with non English speaking communities throughout London.CareNet reaches out to the Somali-speaking population in the U.K. and abroad with health promotion and disease prevention messages. CareNet is a reliable source of health information for refugee and asylum seekers from East Africa although not exclusively.Health information access is a basic healthcare need. Literacy, health-literacy, illness, aging, disability, and language are all issues that can pose barriers to obtaining basic health information.
For the last Seven years CareNet has provided a broad range of health services to refugees and others with limited English proficiency. Discussing health conditions and available services can be challenging without access to reliable, culturally and linguistically appropriate information. CareNet also provided referral to service providers specialising in refugee health.
