 Arizona, USA (PRNewswire): During 2006, the number of languages needed to communicate with patients at U.S. hospitals grew to 143, an increase of eight percent in one year, according to CyraCom, a leading language services provider. Its proprietary database, drawn from nearly 1,000 hospitals and health care facilities, shows a rise of 57 percent since 2000. Arabic moved from fifth to fourth place in numbers of requests for over- the-phone interpretation by the end of third quarter 2006, but dropped back to fifth by the end of the year. Others in the top five, following Spanish as the most requested, were Russian, Vietnamese and Korean.
