Vision
The Transcultural Centre will support the development of health care services in the County that correspond to the cultural multiplicity of the population and welcome and treat patients, irrespective of their background, on equal terms and with respect for their self-determination and integrity. It will also work to ensure that patients seeking asylum are well received within the health service and are offered an adequate level of care.
