Overview

Korean Medical Translation at BeTranslated

South Korea's Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) is one of the most rigorous pharmaceutical and medical device regulatory authorities in Asia. Companies seeking Korean market approval must submit comprehensive Korean-language dossiers meeting MFDS-specific formatting and terminology requirements. Our Korean medical translators hold degrees in medicine, pharmacology, or biomedical sciences and are fully fluent in MFDS submission standards and K-ICH harmonization guidelines.

“We contacted Betranslated services in July 2024. My daughter had time sensitive documents that required certified translation from Spanish to English. The company accommodated her request and promptly, accurately translated all of her documents ahead of time. The documents showed clearly which part had been translated to make it easy to identify. They were friendly & professional, and we would recommend their services to anyone.”
