Healthcare Translation Services
Medical Precision in Every Document
Healthcare documents require translators who understand medical terminology and the critical importance of accuracy. From medical reports for insurance claims to clinical trial documents, we deliver translations that healthcare professionals can rely on.
Medical Translation in the UAE Context
The UAE's healthcare sector serves a diverse international population. Patients arrive with medical records from around the world. Healthcare facilities operate across multiple jurisdictions. Insurance claims may involve documentation in various languages. Each scenario requires accurate medical translation that preserves clinical meaning.
Medical translation differs fundamentally from general translation. Medical terminology is precise and standardized; mistranslation can have serious consequences. Anatomical terms, drug names, diagnostic codes, and clinical descriptions all require translators who understand the medical context, not just the words.
MOJ Certification for Medical Documents
While medical translation often serves clinical purposes, many medical documents also need legal validity. Medical reports submitted to courts in injury cases, disability documentation for government authorities, and health records for immigration all require MOJ-certified translation. We provide both the medical accuracy and legal certification that these situations demand.
Patient Confidentiality
Medical documents contain sensitive personal health information. We maintain strict confidentiality protocols, treating all medical documents with appropriate care. Translators work under confidentiality obligations, and documents are handled securely throughout the translation process.

Healthcare Translation Scenarios
Continuing Care and Patient Transfers
Patients transferring between healthcare facilities—whether within the UAE or internationally—need their medical records translated for the receiving facility. Accurate translation ensures continuity of care. Diagnoses, treatment protocols, medication lists, and allergy information must all be rendered precisely.
For patients coming to the UAE for treatment (medical tourism), we translate their existing records into Arabic or English as required by the treating facility. For patients leaving the UAE, we translate UAE medical records into the language needed by their home country healthcare providers.
Insurance Documentation
Health insurance claims often require translated medical documentation. International insurers may need English translations of Arabic medical reports. UAE insurers may need Arabic translations of foreign treatment records. Accurate medical translation supports smooth claims processing.
For disputed claims or pre-authorization for expensive procedures, detailed medical documentation translation can make the difference in approval. We translate the clinical justification, treatment plans, and specialist recommendations that insurers evaluate.
Legal and Injury Cases
Personal injury cases, medical malpractice claims, and disability determinations all involve medical evidence. Court proceedings require certified translation of medical reports, expert opinions, and clinical records. We provide legal translation of medical documents that meets court requirements.
Immigration and Visa Medical
Some visa categories require medical documentation. Golden Visa applicants may need translated medical reports. Employment visas for certain professions require medical clearance documentation. We translate medical certificates and reports for immigration purposes.
