Task #4 – Medical (Haitian Creole) 

Istorik: Refijye yo pa dwe melanje ak lòt moun ki gen stati imigrasyon tankou : (Visa Espesyal Imigrasyon  (SIV),(Moun k ap chèche Azil), an jeneral, yo pa dwe kite kay yo epi pou yo ale viv nan kan refijye ki dirije pa  Komisyon Nasyonzini pou Refijye yo (UNHCR). An mwayèn, sa ka pran soti 5 a 17 ane. Le Etazini (USA) aksepte  yon refijye ki fèk vini nan Peyi-a, fok li ale fe yon seri egzamen medikal ak vaksen. Yap bay refijye-a yon sache  plastik ki gen Aplikasyon : Òganizasyon Entènasyonal Migrasyon (IOM). Fok ou toujou mete dosye sa yo nan  yon pozisyon tre ZENPÒTAN pou ou ka jwenn yo avek facility, menm jan avèk Asirans sante pou yon ti tan ki  rele : Refugee Medical Assistance (RMA) la. Chak Eta nan Ozetazini gen pwòp pwosesis benefis ak kondisyon yo  – Si ou vle konnen plis, ou ka vizite sit sa-a: https://www.acf.hhs.gov/orr/grant-funding/key-state-contacts pou  ou ka jwenn kontak nan Eta ou ye-a.  

Background: Refugees, not to be confused with other immigration status individuals (Special Immigration Visa  (SIVs), Asylum Seekers), usually leave their homes and reside in refugee camps run by the United Nations High  Commission on Refugees (UNHCR). The average stay time can be from 5 years to 17 years. Once a country (USA)  accepts a refugee, the newcomer goes through a series of medical examinations and vaccinations. These forms  usually accompany the newcomer in a plastic International Organization of Migration (IOM) plastic bag. Place  these records in the IMPORTANT FILES organizer for easy access. Short-term health insurance called Refugee  Medical Assistance (RMA). Each U.S. State has its own benefits and requirements process – see  https://www.acf.hhs.gov/orr/grant-funding/key-state-contacts for the contacts in your state. 

Asistans Medikal Refijye (RMA) disponib pou jiska 8 mwa. Anjeneral, Ajans Reyenstalasyon yo te etabli yon  relasyon ak yon etablisman medikal lokal pou revize dosye sa yo epi telechaje dosye medikal pasyan ki fèk vini  yo nan sistèm nan. Kat Vaksen yo dwe revize epi renouvle yo le sa nesesè. W -ap bezwen yon nouvo dosye  vaksinasyon ki soti nan Etablisman Medikal Ozetazini bay la pou ou ka enskri timoun ki gen laj pou lekòl yo epi  tou wap bezwen yo pita pou fom I-485 la , Aplikasyon pou Anrejistre Rezidans Pèmanan oswa estai ajisteman – an nan yon anvlòp ki gen so sou li. 

Refugee Medical Assistance (RMA) is available for up to eight months. Resettlement Agencies have usually  established a relationship with a local medical facility to review these records and upload newcomer patient  medical records into the system. Vaccinations are reviewed and updated as needed. You will need a new  vaccination record issued by the US medical facility for enrollment of school aged children AND sometime later for  the I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status in a SEALED envelope.

Kilè pou w rele 911 – Nimewo ijans 911 la — oswa nimewo ijans lokal kominote w la — se pou vrè ijans. Yon  menase sou lavi yon moun, manm nan ko yo, oubyen ògàn nan ko yo. Egzanp tanko: Kriz kè, san ki pa sikile nan  sevo-a, pwoblèm pa ka respire, blesi nan tèt ak kou, senyen grav, ak blesi nan je. Ou ka rele 911 tou lè ou pa  kapab fizikman kondwi yon moun nan lopital la, epi moun nan gen yon kondisyon k ap vin pi mal. Lè ou ale lopital – Doktè ki espesyalize nan branch lan wè prèske tout bagay, moun ka vini nan ijans lan pou yon  ti pwoblèm paske yo pa gen okenn lòt kote pou yo ale. Men, tretman ijans nan lopital la chè akoz disponiblite  24 èdtan li yo. 

Lè pou rele doktè ou – Si ou panse yon moun bezwen tretman ijans nan yon lopital, pafwa li pi bon pou’w rele  doktè ou avan pou konsèy. Fè sa sèlman si ou gen tan epi tou si doktè-a imedyatman disponib. Si ou pa gen ase  tan, selon sitiyasyon-an, ou ta dwe rele 911 oswa ale nan lopital ki pi pre a. Doktè ou ka konseye’ w si wi ou non  yon sitiyasyon ijans aktyèlman egziste. 

Kèk lòt opsyon 

Sant swen ijan. Enstalasyon medikal ki gen pèsonèl doktè sa yo ofri yon altènatif lè pa gen yon ijans epi ou pa  gen aksè a doktè pèsonèl ou. An jeneral, yo pi chè pase pou’w wè pwòp doktè ou men mwens chè pase yon vizit  nan sal ijans. Sant lan anjeneral gen aksè imedyat nan laboratwa yon fason ki pi senp. Sant kontwòl pwazon. Sant sa yo gen moun ki byen antrene pou okipe apèl telefòn yo fè fas ak ijans  anpwazònman. Kenbe nimewo a nan telefòn ou, sitou si w gen timoun lakay ou. 

When to call 911 – The 911 emergency number — or your community’s local emergency number — is for true  emergencies. An emergency threatens a person’s life, limbs, or sense organs. Examples are heart attacks, strokes,  breathing problems, head and neck injuries, severe bleeding, and eye injuries. You can also call 911 when you are  not physically able to drive the person to the hospital, and the person has a condition that is growing worse. When to go to a hospital – Doctors who specialize in emergency medicine see just about everything, from real  emergencies to people who come in for minor problems because they have nowhere else to go. But hospital  emergency treatment is expensive because of its 24-hour availability and high overhead costs. When to call your doctor – If you think a person needs emergency treatment at a hospital, it’s sometimes helpful to  first call your doctor for advice. Do this only if you have the time and the doctor is immediately available. If not,  then you should call 911 or go to the nearest hospital. Your doctor can advise you as to whether an emergency  situation actually exists. 

Some other options

Urgent care centers. These doctor-staffed, walk-in medical facilities offer an alternative when there isn’t an  emergency and you don’t have access to your personal doctor. They are generally more expensive than seeing  your own physician but less expensive than an emergency room visit. The center usually has immediate access to  simple laboratory procedures. 

Poison control centers. These centers are staffed by people well trained to handle telephone calls dealing with  poisoning emergencies. Keep the number by your phone, especially if you have children at home.
