title: Why do we need medical writers, editors and translators?
abstract: Effective communication in the healthcare sector is imperative, especially nowadays in English. Many scientists and physicians in hospitals, universities and industry either do not have the time or the inclination to write about and publish their research. Medical writers, editors and translators offer a unique service as members of interdisciplinary teams in the drug approval process and medical and scientific communications.
