medical interpreter in ambulance

28 Mar Why medical interpreters are needed in ambulances?

Medical interpreters play an essential role for easing communication. In the sanitary sector, their tasks are much more required than in any other. Why? It is simple, because health is at stake. Hospitals, medical conferences, drug industry… but also ambulances. Ambulances are highly linked to emergencies. So, they all represent one of the most important scenarios for offering the services of medical interpreters as quickly as possible. Ambulances are subject to assist patients all over the world, so it reinforces the idea of having medical interpreters on board. Here are some scenarios explaining why medical interpreters are key in ambulances.

 

Immigrants

Hospitals may attend immigrants who do not speak the official language of the country. They may speak a bit, but not fluently. In the health area, a perfect understanding is really important – as patients and family should know what is going to happen. So the presence of medical interpreters is vital for transmitting all the information and easing communication among doctors and patients.

Tourists

Big cities and coastline towns… These areas may receive thousands of tourists. But also small villages may house people travelling from abroad. In those cases, all these people are subject to visit a hospital due to an emergency. So it is likely that patients and medical professional do not speak the same language. What can be done? How can communication be eased? It is simple: medical interpreters are key.

 

Witnesses

A fight, a stabbing, an alcohol intoxication… Maybe the people involved in the situation can not express what happened to himself/herself. But a witness can. In some places – as suburbs or a night party area – the people who presence the situation may not speak the official language of the country. What to do in such scenarios? As the provided information can be essential and might be a life-threating situation, the presence of medical interpreters can make things easier than you ever imagine.

 

So, do not rely on medical professionals or patients to speak a foreign language – as they are not forced to do it. Just trust medical interpreters for complementing your ambulance services with a touch of professionalism. Quality will improve as communication does. And health will be benefited.
