Translation

Nepali speaking patients from Bhutan and Nepal are significant consumers of healthcare in the United States, yet they are deprived of language appropriate paperwork.  Upon discharge, the Nepali only speaking patients are frequently handed documents with vital health information in either English or Spanish and asked to get help from family, friends or acquaintance in understanding the information contained in those documents.

We want to change that by providing affordable, reliable and trusted translation from Nepali to English and English to Nepali to all healthcare providers who see Nepali only speaking patients.
