The information was revealed at today’s hearing on health facilities in Oslo at the City Council’s Health and Social Affairs Committee.
Helge Jagman, director of the Nursing Home Agency, said staff experienced being “destroyed” by relatives.
– They say that if my mother does not get this and that, I will go to Doxravion.
– Back to Africa
– In fact, there are those who say you speak Norwegian so badly that you could go back to Africa, wherever you are from.
– Many employees find it too offensive to experience. “We have filed a complaint with the relatives at the Ullern Health Center for racism,” Jagman said.
The committee’s vice-chairman, Morten Edvardsen (Sp), said he was pleased that such matters had been reported. However, he asked if relatives could be involved to avoid frustration.
Here, Jagman acknowledged that dialogue with relatives in health centers is not enough.
– People have thought a little like being in a hospital: people are inside for a short time, the most important thing here is the patient. Now we see the importance of visiting relatives, taking care and having good cooperation, he said.
