Bedeutung
To assume responsibility for something.
Kultureller Hintergrund
The 'tiers-payant' system allows patients to have their medical costs 'pris en charge' directly by the state, so they don't have to pay upfront at the pharmacy. In Quebec, 'prendre en charge' is also used for taking care of elderly parents or family members, often with a strong sense of community duty. In French companies, 'prendre en charge' is a key phrase in annual reviews (entretiens annuels) to show growth and leadership. In many African French-speaking countries, 'prendre en charge' can refer to the extended family system where one successful member supports the education of nieces and nephews.
