translating COVID-19 materials

The coronavirus pandemic forced healthcare providers to rapidly produce critical new communications. Eriksen can help your organization translate COVID-19-related materials such as patient information, prevention guidelines, risk assessment and screening forms, and vaccination procedures.

Like other public health crises, the current pandemic introduced new terminology. To help healthcare organizations facilitate the translation of COVID-related communications, we developed and published a glossary of COVID-19 terms in 18 languages. You can download it here free of charge.

Why is translation important in healthcare?

Language access is a critical component of modern healthcare. Hospitals and other healthcare providers must translate medical documents, records, forms, and care instructions so that patients and their families with limited-English proficiency can understand and make educated decisions about care.

Eriksen Translations has always been very professional, responsive and accommodating. Their fast turnaround doesn’t compromise the accuracy and excellent quality in translation even when the subject matter is highly specialized. It is always a pleasure to recommend Eriksen to other clients without any hesitation.
