Medical Report Attestation and Translation in the UAE

Medical Report Attestation and Translation in the UAE

Medical reports are critical documents for continued treatment, insurance claims, and sick leave approvals. In the UAE, foreign medical reports must often be attested and translated to be accepted by health authorities like DHA, HAAD, or MOH.

When Do You Need Medical Translation?

• Continuing Treatment: Moving to the UAE with a pre-existing condition requires accurate translation of patient history for local doctors.
• Insurance Claims: Reimbursing medical expenses incurred abroad often requires translated invoices and reports.
• Sick Leave Approval: Employers in the UAE may mandate health authority approval for sick leave from abroad, which requires certified translation.

Accuracy is Vital

Medical translation allows no room for error. Mistranslating a dosage, diagnosis, or pharmaceutical term can have life-threatening consequences. Our specialized medical translators combine linguistic fluency with medical knowledge to ensure 100% accuracy.

The Process

1. Attest the medical report in the country of origin.
2. Attest at the UAE Embassy.
3. Translate legally in the UAE.
4. Submit to relevant health authorities.
