Healthcare & Medical
Healthcare & Medical sector translation is delivered by our Kızılay, Ankara office Holland Tercüme for hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, device makers and health tourism. In this field, accurate translation requires more than language skills — it demands command of the sector’s regulations, standards and commercial jargon.
This page sets out our solutions for the Healthcare & Medical sector, our terminology management, our quality process and answers to frequently asked questions.
Why Does Healthcare & Medical Translation Require Expertise?
In Healthcare & Medical documents a single wrong term can mean a lost tender, an invalid contract or serious costs. That is why your projects are routed to physician/pharmacist-background translators and pass through independent revision.
Documents We Frequently Translate in the Healthcare & Medical Sector
We regularly translate and certify the following document types:
- Discharge summaries, doctor reports and test results
- Clinical research (CRF) and ethics-committee files
- Drug authorisation (SmPC/PIL) documents
- Medical-device manuals and CE files
In the Healthcare & Medical field we work in line with Latin-rooted medical terminology and patient safety; this compliance ensures your documents are accepted smoothly both at home and abroad.
Sector-Specific Terminology and Translation Memory
Through the translation memory (TM) and term bases we build for corporate clients, a consistent language is preserved across all your documents over the years. Consistency is a quiet but powerful component of corporate reputation.
On repetitive content, translation memory both lowers cost and shortens turnaround; we offer special rates for regular needs.
Individual and Corporate Solutions in Healthcare & Medical
Healthcare & Medical needs are mostly corporate; we offer framework agreements, volume-based pricing, a dedicated project manager and a brand-specific translation memory. One-off requests are handled with the same care. For firms with steady paperwork we provide monthly consolidated invoicing.
Healthcare & Medical Sector Confidentiality and Data Security
Healthcare & Medical documents often contain trade secrets, personal data or competitively sensitive information. On every project we sign an NDA, store your documents on 256-bit encrypted infrastructure and permanently delete them at your request once complete. In this sector, data security is not negotiable for us.
In Which Languages Do We Translate Healthcare & Medical?
In the Healthcare & Medical field we work in more than 50 languages, led by English, German, Dutch, Flemish, French, Russian, Arabic and Chinese, using native translators matched to your target market.
Process Management for Healthcare & Medical Projects
Healthcare & Medical work often involves many documents, tight deadlines and several stakeholders at once. We manage such projects with a dedicated project manager, coordinating version control, term approval and the delivery schedule from a single point — so consistency and timing hold up even at high volume.
On urgent, critical Healthcare & Medical documents we increase speed without lowering quality by sharing the work across expert teams while keeping term unity through a shared translation memory.
Why Professional Certified Translation?
Online machine translation may look fast, but on official, legal and technical documents it produces shifts in meaning and formatting errors. Such mistakes lead to a rejected application, an invalid contract, or costly delays.
With our professional service you receive not just a translation but correct terminology, editorial control, official approvals and confidentiality together — and that is what gives your document legal validity.
Our Healthcare & Medical Translation Process, Step by Step
We follow a transparent, predictable workflow so you always know exactly where your project stands:
- Free quote: Share your document and receive a clear, no-obligation price and turnaround within minutes.
- Expert assignment: The text is matched to a specialist and, wherever possible, a native-speaker translator.
- Translation & revision: An independent reviser checks the translation against the source.
- Certification: Notarization and apostille are completed if required.
- Delivery: You receive an e-signed digital copy and/or wet-signed originals.
You are kept informed by e-mail and WhatsApp throughout, and urgent jobs are prioritised.
Our ISO 17100 Quality Approach
We believe quality depends on process, not chance. That is why Healthcare & Medical translation passes through the three independent stages required by the international ISO 17100 standard:
- 1. Translation — by the subject specialist.
- 2. Revision — review by a second editor.
- 3. Final reading — readiness check before delivery.
As a result, small but costly errors are caught before delivery, and the outcome is reliably high.
The Legal Validity of Your Document
Your the translation of Healthcare & Medical documents is made submission-ready through sworn certification, notarization and (for use abroad) apostille. A missing approval means a rejected document, so we plan the required level from the very beginning.
Thanks to our central location in Kızılay we work quickly with notaries, completing approvals in hours rather than days in most cases.
If the destination country is not party to the Hague Convention, a consular legalization procedure replaces the apostille; we follow that process too.
Ignoring sector terminology, expanding abbreviations incorrectly and using machine translation are the costliest errors in technical and legal documents.
Ankara-Based, Serving All of Türkiye
Our head office is in Kızılay, Ankara; with our digital workflow we meet your Healthcare & Medical translation needs wherever you are in the country.
Pricing and Turnaround
The cost of Healthcare & Medical translation is based on document volume (characters/pages), urgency and the type of approval (sworn, notarized or apostilled). No hidden items: you know exactly what you will pay from the very first step. For a fair calculation, most projects are priced per 1,000 characters without spaces.
Standard documents are usually delivered in 1–2 business days, and urgent jobs the same day. Notary and apostille fees are paid to third-party authorities and shown as a separate, transparent line in the quote. For regular needs we offer volume-based corporate rates.
Your Data Is Safe
The documents you send for translation frequently carry competitively sensitive information. That is why we secure confidentiality from the outset and sign an internationally valid non-disclosure agreement (NDA) with anyone who requests one.
All files are kept on encrypted systems, accessible only to the experts assigned to the project, and deleted permanently at your request once the work is done. Your Healthcare & Medical translation information is never shared with third parties.
File and Delivery Options
For your Healthcare & Medical translation you can send the document in the easiest possible way — a scanned PDF, a photo or an office file. You choose delivery: fast digital (e-signed PDF) or, for official procedures, a wet-signed and stamped printed copy.
Printed copies arrive by courier; if you are in Ankara you can collect them from the office. For technical files with tables and images, we keep the original layout intact.
We Combine Human Expertise with Technology
We use translation memory (TM), term bases and quality-control tools to support expert human judgement — we trust a controlled process, not the machine. Technology improves consistency and speed; the final word always belongs to the specialist translator.
This balance lets your Healthcare & Medical translation move quickly while preserving the context, nuance and tone only a human can feel. Instead of mechanical machine output, you get a natural, reliable result suited to the receiving institution.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you handle high-volume Healthcare & Medical projects?
Yes; with our translation memory and expert-team capacity we deliver high-volume, repetitive projects consistently and on time.
What is the difference between Healthcare & Medical translation and a notarized translation?
A certified (sworn) translation carries the signature and stamp of an authorised sworn translator; notarization is the notary’s official attestation of that translation. Public institutions, consulates and courts most often require notarization. We assess which one you need free of charge, based on the institution you will submit to, and prevent unnecessary expense.
Do I need to bring my document in person?
It isn’t necessary. A legible scan or photo is enough to begin. Only a few official procedures that require the original mean you would need to bring or courier it; we flag this upfront. We work remotely with clients across the country.
How fast is delivery?
Most documents are delivered within 1–2 business days, and we offer a same-day option for urgent work. The only real driver of turnaround is volume and language pair. On large projects we can split the work and deliver in stages so you are not kept waiting.
Do you also handle the apostille?
Yes. After notarization we follow the apostille (or, for non-Hague countries, consular legalization) on your behalf in Ankara and make the document internationally valid. You do not need to run between the governor’s office, district office or courthouse — we manage the entire chain.
How can I pay?
You can pay by bank transfer/EFT and other common methods. Individual jobs are usually paid before work begins; for corporate clients we offer periodic (monthly) invoicing under a framework agreement. The full amount is clear at the quote stage.
How is the confidentiality of my documents protected?
Information security is a core principle: we sign an NDA with anyone who requests one and keep your files on secure systems accessible only to authorised experts. When the work is done your data is destroyed at your request. This care is one reason law firms and public bodies choose us.
What happens if there is an error in the translation?
We make all in-scope corrections free of charge and stand behind the work we deliver. Our priority in case of any dissatisfaction is not a refund but bringing the translation fully in line with your expectations and the receiving institution’s requirements.
Will an institution abroad accept your translation?
Yes. Documents prepared with a sworn translator’s certification, notarization and apostille carry international validity. Based on whether the destination country is party to the Hague Convention, we determine the correct approval chain from the start and deliver the document in the format the relevant institution expects.
