The guidelines, reported by major media, aim to help healthcare workers better meet the needs of Sami patients. The Sami Parliament expressed strong approval, calling the translation a vital tool for daily practice. According to NRK Sápmi, a Sami Parliament representative described the guidelines as extremely important and urged their extension to other Sami languages.
The same representative noted that patients often struggle to express themselves in Norwegian, making Sami-language resources essential. There is a strong call to expand the guidelines to other Sami languages, though no timeline or specific languages have been confirmed. The development process and dissemination plan for healthcare workers remain unclear.
