Hi. Sorry to hear about the terrible situation you are in concerning your Dad. We use Cat Services, they will ring the hospital for you, and can translate what they say, and get back to you. The service is not expensive either. Telephone Number is +34 950 63 43 88. Hope this helps. Opens at 10 am I think.

Hi, sorry I don't know how much she would charge, but her fees for me have always been reasonable. She will give you a price in advance if you call her and ask.

Hi, There is a translator named Sharon that lives near the hospital her number is 0034 630473966.

The problem is the hospital is virtually closed at the moment, you have to find a translator that has permission to actually get into the hospital, you just cant walk in anymore. Sharon is well known at the hospital she might be able to help you. I hope you get a result, with one of the suggestions on here, and I hope you dad is OK

Hi   I hope your dad will be ok he is in very good hands. I always use Vanessa Garcia Uribe, who is Spanish but you would never guess as she is blond with the most perfect English  she lives not far from the hospital and has a translater pass for the hospital, and knows all the departments inside out  plus most if not all the consultants and wards.  Her number is              622 051 554      her charge is 15€ an hour. Hope this helps sinserley hope you your dad will be ok.     Hiacynth.
