Requirements in the field of translation for medical institutions, importers andmanufacturers of medicines, medical devices, cosmetics and nutritional supplements

According to the data of the social survey of the Central Bureau of Statistics from 2011, 17% of those that are not fluent in Hebrew reported they have difficulty receiving medical services. Among those over 65 years of age the rate of people reporting difficulties in receiving treatment due to language difficulties reaches 23%
The former CEO of the Ministry of health Prof. Roni Gamzo, stated that avoiding to translate when the patient requires it, and translation by untrained personnel, especially when this person has no medical knowledge, is not moral nor professional for patients in the Health care system and therefore is not acceptable nor appropriate.

The important points that should be taken in consideration regarding translation of documents in the medical / pharmaceutical field are as follows:

The Ministry of Health requires importers/manufacturers (registration holders) to market medicines, medical devices, cosmetics and food supplements with printed artworks in the different languages according to regulations and procedures such as:
1. Procedure 43 – Labeling of packaging materials of a medicinal product department}
2. Guidelines for labeling medical devices {Medical device department}
3. Guidelines for labeling regular and dedicated cosmetics
4. Third supplement to the public Health regulations (food) labeling of food supplements
  • Similarly, the Ministry of health requires that the labeling (such as warnings) of study products will be in different languages as well as the informed consent form, notice for recruiting research participants (patients) etc., according to procedure number 14 of the Ministry of Health for medical research in humans.
  • Unlike other fields, the quality of translation of information and documents in the medical/pharmaceutical field may have serious implications including harm to the patient.
  • Successful marketing and promotional activities of medicines, medical devices, cosmetics and nutrition supplements for the various populations in Israel and outside of the country requires transformation of identical information in the different languages.
  • Medical translation must be performed by professional translators, who are familiar with the world of medical terms, well experienced in translation, both in the language of origin and the intended language.
