Croatian Medical and Technical Translation by Physicians and Engineers

Worker health: liječničke svjedodžbe, sanitary booklets and injury records

Georgian workers in Croatian hospitality, food service and construction need a liječnička svjedodžba (medical certificate) for the dozvola za boravak i rad in many occupations and a sanitarna iskaznica (sanitary booklet) with a health examination and hygiene training for food handling, renewed periodically; their Georgian medical history - vaccination records, chronic condition records, prior occupational health certificates - is translated into Croatian for the medicina rada physician, and the Croatian certificates are translated into Georgian for the worker. When a worker is injured, the ozljeda na radu record, hospital records, the HZZO claim and any Inspektorat rada documents need translation in both directions quickly and accurately, because compensation and return-to-work decisions depend on them. We translate these files with a physician handling the clinical part and a legal specialist the administrative one, and we interpret at hospitals and inspection interviews by video where needed. Employers and agencies use our framework agreements for this recurring work.

Otpusna pisma and medical records for treatment in Croatia and Georgia

Georgian patients referred to Croatian hospitals - the KBC Zagreb, KBC Split and KBC Rijeka, the Magdalena clinic for cardiovascular surgery, Croatian dental and rehabilitation centers - need their Georgian records translated into Croatian before the first consultation: the epicrisis (otpusno pismo), nalazi of imaging and histology, laboratorijski nalazi, treatment protocols and vaccination records. Croatian residents and visitors treated in Georgian clinics need the reverse for their obiteljski liječnik, the HZZO and their employer. Our medical translators are practicing or former physicians and pharmacists; they keep ICD-10 codes, INN drug names, dosages and units exactly as written and never reinterpret a diagnosis, and they expand the abbreviations of Croatian otpusna pisma on first occurrence. Translations are certified for clinics and notarized for insurers and the Georgian Social Service Agency.

HZZO, HZMO, disability and social documents

The HZZO (Croatian Health Insurance Fund) asks for translated Georgian clinic invoices, otpusna pisma and prescriptions when reimbursing treatment received in Georgia; Georgian insurers ask for Croatian records translated into Georgian. Cross-border social documents - doznake for sick leave, rješenja o invalidnosti from the HZMO, rodiljni documents and the S1 and S2 forms - are translated and notarized for Georgian employers, the Revenue Service and the Social Service Agency, and for Croatian authorities assessing Georgian nationals working in Croatia. These files mix clinical and financial content, so a physician translates the medical part and an accountant checks invoices and amounts.

Clinical trials, HALMED registration and medical devices

Croatian pharmaceutical companies - Pliva and others - register products in Georgia and run trials at Georgian sites, and Georgian manufacturers look at the Croatian market. We translate protokoli, informacije za ispitanike and suglasnosti (with back-translation for ethics committees), brošure za ispitivača, case report forms and safety reports between Croatian and Georgian, and for registration the sažetak opisa svojstava lijeka, uputa o lijeku, certificate of pharmaceutical product, GMP certificates and CE declarations. For medical devices we translate upute za uporabu, technical documentation and izjave o sukladnosti, keeping terminology aligned with HALMED language on one side and the Georgian regulator's on the other.

Shipbuilding, marine, hospitality and construction documentation

Croatian shipyards in Rijeka, Split and Pula and marinas along the coast employ Georgian workers and crews, and Georgian Black Sea shipyards and marinas buy the same equipment and follow similar standards. We translate shipbuilding specifications, welding procedures, class and statutory documentation, marine engine and navigation manuals, marina infrastructure documentation and crew training materials between Croatian, Georgian and English, with marine engineers on the team, keeping equipment identifiers and regulatory references intact. Hotel kitchen, laundry, HVAC and pool equipment documentation for hospitality workers, and construction site documentation - tehnička dokumentacija, method statements, quality plans and the ZNR (zaštita na radu) system of procjene rizika, radne upute, dozvole za rad and izvješća o ozljedama - are translated for mixed Georgian and Croatian crews, once for reuse and back into Croatian for incident reports.

HRN standards, certification, patents, drawings and quality control

HRN and HRN EN standards, ISO 9001, 14001, 45001 and 27001 certificates, audit reports and priručnici kvalitete are translated for tenders and certification bodies; izvještaji o ispitivanju, potvrde o umjeravanju and izjave o sukladnosti for laboratories and regulators; and Croatian-language patent applications entering Georgia through Sakpatenti require Georgian translations of the opis, patentni zahtjevi and sažetak in patent language, with the reverse for Georgian applicants filing at the Državni zavod za intelektualno vlasništvo. Engineering drawings in AutoCAD DWG and DXF carry sastavnice, notes and legends that we translate inside the files, returning them with layers and dimensions intact. Every medical and technical file passes through a subject specialist, a second bilingual reviewer and a numerical check comparing units, decimal separators (Croatian commas versus Georgian points), dosages, part numbers and reference ranges line by line against the source. Source errors are flagged rather than silently corrected, glossaries are agreed before bulk work begins, and certificates of accuracy and notarization are available for regulators, insurers and courts.
