Today, the translation of medical documents is one of the most sought-after specialisms presented to translation agencies. The rapid development of the pharmaceutical industry, alongside the emergence of new treatment methods and an increasing demand for the provision of medical services to a broader global population has caused a stark increase in the volume of medical documents requiring translation. The urgency of such documents has heightened once more due to the mass migration of the Ukrainian population in the early stages of 2022.
Characteristics of Medical Documents in the Context of TranslationNarrow-profile translators are often entrusted with the translation of medical records, due to the specific categorical and terminological apparatus each medical document is characterized by. Medical translations entail a high volume of specialist concepts, terms, and abbreviations – some of which are referenced in Latin.
Specific difficulties arise during the translation of handwritten texts, including written medical history, appointment records, and test results (such as blood tests for onco, and HIV testing, for example). The illegible nature of these texts are often reflective of the high intensity that healthcare professionals are working within, therefore forcing them to write in a hurried manner. This is a notion which must be approached seriously during the translation process, where an inaccurate translation could impede negative impacts both in a legal and medical context. Our agency employs translators with extensive professional experience, who are largely familiarised with the medical sector, as well as specific handwritten documents.
