AI may be fast, cheap, and improving – but medicine isn’t a game of ‘almosts’.

In healthcare and life sciences, accuracy isn’t optional. One mistranslation in a clinical trial report, one unclear dosage instruction, one wrongly interpreted patient note – and the outcome isn’t a typo, it’s a serious risk.

Medical translation isn’t like translating marketing copy. The risks are far greater. And in this space, “good enough” isn’t enough.

Yet it happens every week: organisations rely on generic AI translation tools to cut costs or meet deadlines – in regulatory filings, pharma packaging, patient information leaflets, or surgical consent forms.

Here’s what that gamble costs:

• Patient safety – A mistranslated term, dosage, or symptom can cause real harm.
• Regulatory compliance – Inaccurate documentation can trigger audits, rejections, or costly delays.
• Reputation – One public error can undermine trust with patients, partners, and regulators.

Then there’s medical transcription. Capturing spoken data across accents, languages, and clinical environments demands far more than a generic AI model.

That’s where professional medical translation services matter.
