  1. Hi everyone the societa.
  2. Today I'm going to go over the society which is
  3. about vulnerabilities and solutions to help disparities affecting filipino american.
  4. Um The filipino americans are among the vast asian community
  5. residing in the United States and this group with a
  6. lot of challenges during the pandemic.
  7. They face numerous social and health disparities which may explain
  8. why COVID-19 pandemic hit this population hard and then um
  9. I would like to talk about language and culture barriers
  10. um which are the most significant cause of health inequalities
  11. among the filipino american population.
  12. And um several people in this category do not speak
  13. english which make it which makes it difficult for them
  14. to seek assistant or with things like scheduling appointments and
  15. like um interacting with medical expert and learning about their
  16. diseases. Um research shows that filipino american patients who cannot
  17. communicate in english are less likely to um ask questions
  18. about their medical conditions.
  19. Yeah, evidence based um solution.
  20. So the best solution to such an issue as for
  21. the filipino american leaders to educate their people to drop
  22. some cultural beliefs and adopted modern culture, especially in healthcare.
  23. Um this would make it easier for them to seek
  24. medical assistance during this pandemic.
  25. And under essential solution is to educate these people and
  26. offer more language training to speak fluent english to express
  27. themselves to medical practitioners effectively, and all this can only
  28. be achieved.
  29. Um if the filipino american leaders are given complete control
  30. um since their people can listen to them better and
  31. uh their culture, social injustices and health disparities all put
  32. them at high risk, resulting in victims of the pandemic
  33. and other issues like mental health and depression.
