Abstract

This article discusses the language problems at the Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital. The description of the language situation would have been incomplete without presenting a few of the various scenarios that took place in this hospital. Tables indicating the number of doctors, nurses and patients are also presented and analysed. Many conclusions were reached during the analysis of these scenarios.
