Medical Translation Services

In Dubai’s highly regulated healthcare and life sciences sector, accurate medical translation is essential for patient safety, regulatory compliance, clinical accuracy, and international healthcare collaboration. Since 1996, Communication Legal Translation Est. (CLT) has been providing professional Medical Translation Services in Dubai and across the UAE, supporting hospitals, clinics, pharmaceutical companies, healthcare providers, research institutions, medical device manufacturers, and individual patients.

Medical documents often contain specialized terminology, sensitive patient information, clinical data, and regulatory language. Any translation error can lead to misdiagnosis, treatment delays, regulatory rejection, or legal risk. At CLT, we provide both LEGAL medical translation services (only for approved language combinations) and GENERAL (non-legal) medical translation services for all other languages, depending on authority and usage requirements.
