Hospital discharge summary (wypis ze szpitala) translation
Sworn translation of a discharge / epicrisis: diagnoses, treatment course, prescriptions. Volume and turnaround are larger than a short medical certificate; Latin and codes are kept verbatim.
A discharge describes hospital treatment: diagnoses, procedures, recommendations. Price follows volume (; usually 2–5 business days. Short certificates have a separate page.
Hospital discharge translation — full medical text
What counts toward volume
Every epicrisis page you file with the institution.Partial translation (diagnosis only, no prescriptions) — only with the recipient’s written instruction.
Latin and ICD
Terms and codes stay as in the original.We do not “adapt” diagnoses into casual Polish — doctors and ZUS need form accuracy.
How it differs from a certificate
Wypis is long; zaświadczenie is a short opinion.If it is one sheet “zdrowy / zdolny” — `/tlumaczenie-zaswiadczenia-lekarskiego`.
For ZUS and insurers
Often the full treatment text is required.Send the ZUS / insurer requirement — we confirm the sworn-translation format.
Scans with stamps
All pages needed, including the reverse.Missing sheets = incomplete translation. We check page numbering before start.
Urgency
Long discharges are not “in an hour”.Standard 2–5 days. We agree turnaround after volume review in chat.
Languages for hospital discharge translation
We work both ways: a foreign document into Polish for offices in Poland, a Polish document into the destination-country language.
Documents from Ukraine for offices in Poland — the most common pair.
Soviet-era documents and those issued in Russia and Belarus.
Documents from the UK, Ireland, the USA, India and the UAE.
Polish documents for Ukrainian offices — certificates, extracts, rulings.
For foreign employers, universities and consulates.
For offices and banks in countries that require Russian.
Three types of translation — and when you need each
If the document goes to a public office — you need a sworn translation. Prices below are for Ukrainian, Russian and English; other languages are quoted separately.

Who already ordered
All reviewsI sent a photo in the evening, had a PDF by morning, and the paper copy in Wrocław two days later. Urząd Wojewódzki accepted it without questions.
They asked to match the name spelling to the passport — I would not have thought of it. That is why the pack was accepted first time.
The amount quoted on Telegram did not change. Good when there are no “extra pages” at the end.
