Urgent Medical Translation in Luxembourg: Files, Prescriptions and Reports

Luxembourg City hosts some of Europe's most important institutions - the European Court of Justice, the European Investment Bank, the Court of Auditors - and a workforce of 200,000+ cross-border commuters from France, Belgium and Germany. When medical documents need urgent translation, TranslateBE delivers certified express medical translations in 24 hours, serving all Luxembourg City hospitals and the cross-border healthcare community.

Luxembourg's hospitals and the cross-border healthcare context

The Centre Hospitalier de Luxembourg (CHL) and the Hôpital Kirchberg(part of CHEM - Centre Hospitalier Emile Mayrisch) are Luxembourg City's principal hospitals. They serve not only the resident population - over 170 nationalities - but also the 200,000+ cross-border workers (frontaliers) who commute daily from France, Belgium and Germany and who may present with medical records in French, German, Dutch, or their native languages.

The Clinique Bohlerand private specialist centres cater to Luxembourg's large EU institution staff community, whose medical needs often involve complex international insurance schemes (EU Joint Sickness Insurance Scheme, CIGNA, BUPA International) requiring translated medical documentation.
