Spanish to English translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical (general) | | Spanish term or phrase: residencia sanitaria | Any ideas how I might distinguish between "residencia sanitaria" (which I would otherwise translate as "hospital") and "hospital" in this list?
"Los centros médicos más cercanos a las instalaciones de xxx son:
- Residencia sanitaria (nombre) – (dirección)
- Hospital (nombre) – (dirección)
- Otras (si aplica)."
Thanks in advance. |
