Certified Medical Translation

Meaning

Certified medical translation is the specialized linguistic conversion of clinical documentation, such as patient histories, pharmacological inserts, or regulatory submissions, accompanied by a formal statement from the translator attesting to the completeness and accuracy of the rendition. This certification acts as a quality control mechanism, guaranteeing that the translated text maintains the precise scientific and clinical integrity of the source document. It is a non-negotiable requirement for regulatory submissions to bodies like the FDA or EMA, ensuring the pharmacological and physiological data is accurately communicated across global health systems. The goal is to eliminate translational entropy in the information transfer process.
