Punjabi Medical Records Translation
Punjabi medical records translation for a US doctor, an insurer, a civil surgeon or a disability claim.

Written for Punjabi medical records records
Where the Gurmukhi sits in a Punjab medical file
A discharge summary from a private hospital in Ludhiana or Jalandhar is usually English from top to bottom. The paper from a government civil hospital, a community health centre or a village doctor is a different matter.
Civil hospital slips
The OPD ਪਰਚੀ from a civil hospital has its headings printed in Gurmukhi: the patient, the father or husband, the village, the age. The doctor then writes the complaint and the drugs in English or in a mix of both. We translate the printed Punjabi, reproduce the English as written, and mark a word the hand makes unreadable as illegible instead of guessing a drug name.
De-addiction treatment records
Punjab runs government de-addiction centres and outpatient opioid treatment clinics, and their patient cards record the drug, the start date and each visit. A civil surgeon doing an I-693 exam, or a lawyer preparing for one, may need the full history in English to show treatment and remission. These pages get translated in full, with dosage figures and visit dates exactly as written, because the dates are what the reader weighs.
Letters from the family doctor
In many villages the doctor is a private practitioner who writes a short note on a letterhead, half in Punjabi, saying how long he has treated a parent and for what. These notes support a B-2 visa for a parent coming for treatment, a humanitarian parole request, or a request to reschedule a USCIS interview. We translate the letterhead, the note and the stamp, and keep the doctor's stated qualification as printed rather than converting it to a US title.
Who is asking for your Punjabi 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 Punjabi 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.

Punjabi Medical Records FAQ
Most questions about pricing and turnaround can be answered faster by requesting a quote.
- My parent's report from a Chandigarh hospital is all in English. Do I need you?
- Probably not for that report. Large hospitals in Chandigarh, Ludhiana and Amritsar issue English reports, and a US doctor can read them as they are. Send us only the pages carrying Gurmukhi: a handwritten Punjabi note, a referral slip, a Punjabi stamp or a family letter. We translate those and certify each one.
- Will the translation explain Indian drug brand names?
- No. A prescription from Punjab names brands like Crocin or Pan 40 that a US pharmacist will not recognise. We copy the brand as written and do not swap in a generic name, because working out the ingredient and dose is a job for your doctor or pharmacist.
- Do you translate US medical records into Punjabi?
- Yes. The usual reason is a parent who reads only Gurmukhi and needs a discharge plan, a surgery consent or a medication list they can follow at home. A doctor in Punjab will read the English version, so we translate into Punjabi only when the person reading it needs Punjabi.
- 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.
