Medical interpreting in Italy
We arrange interpreting from Russian into Italian and from Italian into Russian at medical appointments, examinations and hospitals. Our specialist accompanies patients during pregnancy and childbirth in Italian clinics.

Discuss medical interpreting
At appointments, examinations and in hospital
The interpreter conveys your symptoms and questions to the doctor, then interprets the doctor's explanations of test results and prescribed treatment. You speak in your own words and pause for the interpretation. If anything remains unclear, you can return to the question and ask for clarification.
During a hospital stay, the specialist interprets conversations with doctors and medical staff. In the Pronto Soccorso emergency department, the interpreter helps you explain what happened and understand the staff's questions.
Pregnancy and childbirth
You can book an interpreter through the agency for pregnancy appointments, admission to a maternity hospital and childbirth. The interpreter conveys explanations from doctors and midwives, as well as your questions about examinations, pain relief and the progress of labour.
To help you prepare for childbirth, the website includes a detailed series on pregnancy and childbirth in Italy. It covers booking your first appointment, choosing a maternity hospital, medical care costs, discharge and your child's documents.
Contacting the police
The agency's specialist also interprets when you contact the police. The interpreter helps you explain what happened, understand the officers' questions and prepare your report.
