Turkish Medical Translation
For medical device manufacturers, life-science companies, and LSPs working with Turkish regulatory requirements.

Turkey has its own medical device regulatory framework. Since 2021, Turkey operates under the Turkish Medical Device Regulation (TÜMER), which aligns with EU MDR 2017/745 but is administered separately by the Turkish Medicines and Medical Devices Agency (TİTCK). Products entering the Turkish market require documentation in Turkish — and that documentation must use terminology consistent with TİTCK expectations, not informal translations of EU regulatory language.

For pharmaceutical content, Turkey's regulatory authority is the same body — TİTCK — which oversees drug approval, labeling requirements, and pharmacovigilance reporting. Turkish labeling and patient information leaflets must meet specific format and readability requirements that differ from EU norms.

This means Turkish medical translation requires more than bilingual competence. It requires knowledge of the Turkish regulatory environment, familiarity with TİTCK documentation standards, and translators who work in this domain regularly.
