FDA Updates 2024 Language Access Plan

“On Thursday, the FDA released its updated 2024 Language Access Plan, taking another key step toward addressing language barriers that impact health equity and strengthening language access to health information and services for the public, including people with Limited English Proficiency and people with disabilities. The plan also supports FDA efforts to identify interpretation language assistance, translate, and make important documents accessible, as well as digital and web content into multiple languages. The Language Access Program, led by the FDA’s Office of Minority Health and Health Equity, is a part of the FDA’s ongoing work to help individuals make informed decisions about their health.”
