Many doctors need the services of medical translators for their patient records, prescriptions, medical history and diagnoses that are written in another language. To be able to make the right diagnosis, doctors have to understand what caused the patient's illness. Patients and doctors should be able to fully understand each other. Thus, medical documents written in different languages should be translated. Medical translation is not just about working with doctors, as there are several other areas where it is needed. For example, in labels and literature pertaining to pharmaceuticals and medical devices sold locally to be translated into the language they commonly use.
Challenges in Medical Translation
Medical translation is one of the most challenging and complicated categories of technical translation services. Translation of medical texts places a great responsibility on the translator's shoulders because this field of translation does not tolerate approximate definitions and imprecise terms. Thus, it requires multiple levels of quality control.
Medical translators face a number of challenges in order to translate medical information. It is not enough for them to know the language pairs. They should know about medical language, which is a specialist language. Just like doctors have to be familiar with new medical terms, medicine, conditions and disease, the medical translator should be up to date regarding them as well. They must have a working knowledge of the subject matter, so that they would not put patients at risk. Our translators possess all these skills.
Furthermore, the tone and language of the translation in medical translation, aside from mirroring the original source, also depends on who would be reading the translation. The choice of words for translation that will be used by doctors and nurses is going to be different from the translation that will be read by experts in the field, such as clinicians, researchers, international doctors or governing bodies. We take this into consideration at Access Centre.
Why Access Centre is your best choice for medical translation services?
Nowadays, many patients undergo treatment abroad and they need various medical documents to be translated. Moreover, the doctor might need a translation of the patient's medical history. In this case medical translation helps too. The precision of the information provided for the doctor on the particular case depends on the quality of the medical translation. Imprecise interpretation of any term used may result in various delays or problems in treatment. Thus, the result of treatment will be highly dependent on the accuracy of the translation of medical documents.

Using the most up-to-date technologies, specialized medical dictionaries and other aids, your translator will produce medical translations that are accurate and that adhere to all confidentiality laws.
Generally, medical translators should have excellent knowledge of their working language pairs. Likewise, they must have a knowledge of physiology and anatomy and knowledge of medical terms and meaning. Medical translators must fully understand ethical issues and many concepts of health care. The above are the core skills of a medical translator. However, there are more qualities required of them. These qualities are what doctors should look for when they want to work with a professional medical translation provider. In order to accurately translate medical documents, they must possess top-notch writing skills in their working languages. They must have strong research, analysis and reading skills and an in-depth knowledge of the range of medical terminology for translators and medical concepts. Our translators have all these skills. We are proud to have the best professional, devoted and reliable team of medical translators in Qatar and the Gulf region.
