The purpose of this dictionary is to translate medical terms from Greek to German and vice versa from German to Greek. The dictionary is neither etymological nor interpretative. It is intended to be a linguistic aid for doctors, medical students, and nurses who wish to work or study in the respective other country.

This dictionary includes not only strictly scientific terms but also medical concepts from everyday use that will facilitate communication between medical personnel and patients.

The dictionary also aims to linguistically support official translators and experts who, in the context of cross-border insurance matters, will be called upon to translate medical texts and expert opinions.
