Abstract: | Malta is, and always has been, a common destination for people from all over the world. One such type of migration is that from Africa - just 290 kilometers south of our Islands. Amongst these, numerous Nigerians too, have found in Malta a place for study, work and even family. The aim of this project was to learn about the Nigerian culture, its people's beliefs, their health issues and other concerns. These would be helpful for a health professional to know so as to be more culturally competent and therefore more client-centred during service delivery, especially in view of the possibility of having Nigerians as our clients. For this project, literature searches were carried out about Nigeria and about cultural competence, and three interviews were conducted with three Nigerians living in Malta. |
