Written for Arabic medical records records
Why an Arabic medical file is usually two languages
Medicine is taught in English in Egypt, Jordan, Iraq, Sudan and the Gulf, and in Arabic in Syria, so what a file looks like depends on where it was written.
English clinical notes under Arabic headings
An Egyptian or Gulf hospital file often has the diagnosis, drug names and lab values in English, while the letterhead, the patient's details, the doctor's name and specialty, the stamps and the official تقرير طبي issued for a court, an employer or an embassy are in Arabic. We translate the Arabic and leave the English as written, marked as original, so the US reader is not handed a retyped version of notes that were already in English.
Syrian and Iraqi records, and reports for asylum
Syrian medical schools teach in Arabic, so Syrian records give diagnoses in Arabic medical terms, and Iraqi government hospitals mix the two languages. Asylum claims often turn on a hospital note from Aleppo, Mosul or Sanaa describing an injury, with the date of admission and the mechanism. The translation keeps the doctor's wording and the dates exactly, because the asylum officer or immigration judge compares the account to the declaration.
Sick leave, injury and forensic reports
A Saudi or Emirati إجازة مرضية states the days off and the diagnosis; a تقرير إصابة عمل records a work injury; the Egyptian قومسيون طبي assesses disability for a pension; and a تقرير الطب الشرعي from a forensic doctor records injuries for a police file. Each has an issuing office, a reference number and stamps that a US insurer, a personal injury lawyer or a court will want to see named.
Who is asking for your Arabic medical records translation?
The translation is the same. What changes is whether the recipient wants anything added to it.
Doctors and hospitals
A new physician needs your diagnoses, medications and reports in English before the first visit. Each report is translated in full and certified, so it can go into your chart as it is.
Insurers
Health, travel and disability insurers ask for the medical report and the itemized bill in English, translated completely and certified, before they pay a claim for care received abroad.
ECFMG
ECFMG accepts a word-for-word translation on a translation service's letterhead, signed by the translator with a certification statement. Summaries and extracts are refused. Our certified translations follow that format.
Before you upload
Three things that save a day of back and forth on a Arabic medical records.
Send the pages a doctor would read
The discharge letter, the current medication list and the reports it relies on cover most visits. A full hospital file can run to hundreds of pages, so start with those and add the rest if the recipient asks.
Letterhead, stamps and signatures count
The hospital header, the doctor's stamp and the registration number on a prescription identify who wrote the record. Scan each page whole, including forms and the back of any page with a stamp.
Tell us who will read it
A physician needs the clinical pages, an insurer the diagnosis and the itemized bill, ECFMG a word-for-word translation of the entire document. Say which in the order notes, with the patient's name as the passport spells it.

Arabic Medical Records FAQ
Most questions about pricing and turnaround can be answered faster by requesting a quote.
- A travel insurer wants my hospital bill from Egypt or Jordan translated. What do I send?
- The itemized invoice (فاتورة), the discharge summary and the receipt. Egyptian and Jordanian private hospitals issue bills in Arabic listing room charges, procedures and drugs, with amounts in pounds or dinars. The translation keeps every amount and currency as printed and translates the service lines so the claims adjuster can match them to the policy. Lab and radiology reports already in English need only their stamps translated.
- Will you convert lab results into US units?
- No. Arab labs often report glucose in mmol/L or hemoglobin in g/L, and a translator who converts them risks an error a doctor would never catch. We keep every number and unit as the lab printed it and translate the test names and reference ranges, and the US doctor reading the report does any conversion.
- Can you put my US hospital records into Arabic for treatment or a claim back home?
- Yes. Patients send US records to a Saudi or Emirati insurer for reimbursement, to the Egyptian social insurance authority for a disability pension, to a hospital at home before continuing treatment, or to a Gulf employer after an injury. Tell us who will read it; a government hospital in Riyadh and an insurer in Dubai want different forms of the same terms.
- How much does a certified translation cost?
- Certified translation is $25 per page, with a page counted as up to 250 words. Notarization, a mailed physical copy and an apostille are optional and priced separately.
- How long does a certified translation take?
- Standard turnaround starts at 24 hours and depends on the length and language of your documents. If you have a deadline, include it in your quote request.
