As part of our ongoing commitment to inclusive healthcare communication, we are pleased to announce that our Medicine Easy Read Leaflets (MERLs) are now available in 12 additional languages.
The newly supported languages include:
- Arabic
- Bengali
- Chinese (Simplified and Traditional)
- Gujarati
- Polish
- Portuguese
- Punjabi
- Romanian
- Spanish
- Turkish
- Urdu
This expansion is particularly important for healthcare providers serving diverse communities. By providing medicine information in a patient's preferred language, we can help reduce medication errors and improve adherence to treatment plans.
"Language should never be a barrier to understanding important health information," said Professor Steve Bazire, Director of Content. "These translations will help healthcare professionals better serve their non-English speaking patients."
The translated MERLs maintain the same easy-to-understand format with simple language and supportive images that make our English MERLs so effective.
