What was discussed here and led to the actual business is the creation of a health information booklet for migrants.. One of the reasons foreigners can't go to the hospital even if they're sick is because they don't have any information about the hospital.. Foreigners are more likely to be easily exposed to the disease due to complex factors such as their home countries and other living and medical environments., It's difficult to learn medical information because of language barriers..
