- In order to learn more about your needs the Fachreferat Interkulturelle Öffnung (specialized department for intercultural development) is carrying out surveys in different languages.

Internal interpreting service
More than 100 trained employees with foreign language skills (mostly their native tongues) and basic medical/nursing education offer verbal translation in all complexes of Munich's Communal City Clinic Hospitals for patients as well as family members in a total of 35 different languages.
Should you find difficulties in communicating with our employees you can demand our Internal Interpreting Service. If you need an interpreter, for instance to talk to a doctor, please ask in the department you are based at. We would be pleased to send for an employee with the adequate language proficiency, as far as possible.
Please accept our apologies that at the same time our Internal Interpreting Service is not permitted to take action in private or legal matters and can not take the place of any sworn interpreter.
