Medical translation: English → Ukrainian
This page covers medical documents in the combination English → Ukrainian. The direction matters: the terminology, the sentence length a reader expects and the way a diagnosis is phrased all change when you reverse it, so we treat each direction as its own service with its own translators and its own glossary.
It is also the language most often chosen as a neutral bridge, for instance when a report has to reach a specialist abroad who reads neither the source language nor the patient's own.
Cyrillic script brings its own questions: which spelling of a personal name goes on the certificate, and how a name already latinised in a passport should be handled. We follow the passport spelling unless you tell us otherwise.
Personal names, place names and institution names are transliterated to a single consistent standard across the whole file, so the same person is not spelled two ways on two pages.
Everything is delivered with a certificate of accuracy, which is what a hospital admissions office, an insurer or a foreign registration body will look for. If the file has to be filed abroad, we add notarisation and the apostille of the cantonal chancellery, and we can arrange embassy or consulate legalisation for countries outside the Hague Convention.

Frequently asked questions
Will a Swiss authority accept your translation?
Yes. Every certified translation is bound to a copy of the source document and carries our stamp, the translator's signature and a declaration of completeness and accuracy. Switzerland has no single national register of sworn translators, so authorities look at the certification and, where the document travels abroad, at the notarisation and apostille. Tell us which office will receive the file and we will apply the exact form it requires.
How much does a medical translation cost?
Price depends on word count, language combination, the level of specialisation and whether certification, notarisation or an apostille is needed. A one-page medical certificate is a small fixed fee; a fifty-page oncology file is quoted per word. Send the document and you get one figure that includes certification and postage, valid for thirty days.
Do you handle the apostille yourselves?
Yes. After certification we take the file to a notary, then to the state chancellery of the canton concerned for the apostille under the 1961 Hague Convention. If the destination country is not a party to that convention, the document continues to the Federal Chancellery, the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs and then the relevant embassy or consulate. You approve the route and the fees before we begin.
