How to make an appointment for interpreter

Please contact the Interpreter Request Desk (reception desk) at participating hospitals 5 days prior to your visit.
1. Make a phone call or show the brochure at the hospital reception for appointment.
2. An interpreter will be arranged.

3. Meet an interpreter on the day of visiting.


Important NoticePlease remember that interpreters are NOT medical staffs! They will be sent ONLY for your visit.
