hospital interpreters
 

I am desperately searching for an interpreter to accompany me to a hospital appointment in Antequera. Does anyone know of a good medical translator in the area?

Does your local health centre not have a list, I know, when we lived in Spain, there were always interpreters advertising in our health centre.

That's only in areas with high numbers of expats

Antequera probably doesn't have so many

Note to OP, most translators at hospitals are volunteers and aren't actually fluent in Spanish.

If you want a proper medical translator then they are expensive, maybe 20-40 euros per hour
