Miscommunication in healthcare can delay diagnoses, complicate treatment, and put patients at risk. Our medical translation and interpreting services help hospitals, clinics, and international patients stay aligned—so everyone understands what matters, every step of the way.

Tek Translate supports hospitals and clinics by making multilingual medical communication effortless, so that medical teams can focus on treatment, and patients feel seen, heard, and safe throughout their care journey.

We respond to these needs with:

On-Site Medical Interpreting
We provide face-to-face medical interpreting directly at hospitals and clinics for patient registration, doctor appointments, and hospital procedures. Our interpreters for hospitals work on location, side by side with medical staff and patients, ensuring real-time support in every interaction. Fluent in widely spoken languages like English, German, Russian, and Arabic, they bring both linguistic skill and hands-on experience in clinical environments. This face-to-face interpreting helps prevent misunderstandings, thus making communication smooth, accurate, and stress-free for everyone involved.
Translation of Patient Docs
We also translate patient files, including medical histories, prescriptions, allergy information, and lab results. These documents used in diagnosis and treatment processes require subject-specific expertise, so we assign physician-translators with backgrounds in relevant specialties. We also handle informed consent forms and procedure-related materials to support both hospital protocols and patient understanding.

Clear communication. Safer care. We help hospitals speak every patient’s language!

Certified Translations for Healthcare: Sworn, Notarized & Legally Compliant

In many areas of healthcare, especially when dealing with international treatment, insurance, or regulatory approvals— translations need more than accuracy. They must be officially certified to hold legal validity across borders. Certified translations, whether sworn or notarized, depending on where they’re submitted, are often essential for hospitals, clinics, pharmaceutical firms, insurers, and medical tourism agencies. Documents submitted to government offices, courts, or regulatory bodies like EMA, FDA, and WHO require precise certification to meet legal standards. Whether it’s a patient consent form being sent abroad, CE paperwork for a medical device, or an insurance policy meant for use across borders, these documents need to meet strict legal standards in every detail. Certification is the way to comply with these standards.

Types of Documents We Certify:

Drug/device licenses, ISO certificates, and company incorporation papers
Patient medical records for health tourism visas
Clinical trial agreements and informed consent forms
Pharmaceutical patent filings and adverse event reports

Tek Translate works with a large pool of certified professionals, including 235 sworn translators across multiple language combinations. In Turkey, we handle requests through our offices and network in key cities such as Istanbul and Ankara. For clients in Europe, we offer officially recognized translations via local teams and long-time collaborators in Germany, the UK, and France.
