Nedre Romerike Legevakt successfully trialed the Care to Translate app and found it to be a valuable tool in facilitating clear communication between healthcare professionals and patients who speak languages other than Norwegian. By complementing the services of human interpreters, Care to Translate helps ensure that language barriers do not hinder the provision of high-quality medical care.

“We are excited to partner with Lillestrøm Municipality,” said Maja Magnusson, CEO of Care to Translate.

“We believe that Care to Translate can make a positive difference in improving patient care and communication within the municipality.”

Care to Translate is committed to developing innovative solutions that enhance healthcare communication. This collaboration with Lillestrøm Municipality is an important step in our mission to break down language barriers and improve access to quality healthcare for all.
