In Turkey, the language of communication is Turkish. All medical documentation and dialogues are conducted mainly in Turkish. However, many doctors tend to speak one or more foreign languages. Doctors undergo training and internships at medical centers in U.S and Europe, and, as a result, speak English, and in some cases German, as well. In addition, doctors in Turkey may speak other foreign languages, which may be related to their origin, for example, Arabic or Azerbaijani. All patients are provided absolutely free of charge with the services of qualified translators, which makes communication between the patient and the doctor simple and as clear as possible. The most commonly available translators are from Turkish to English, Arabic, Russian, Bulgarian, Georgian. Some major medical centers have the ability to translate into Farsi, Uzbek, Macedonian, Serbian, Albanian.
