SNOMED CT is an international health terminology in English. Germany has been a member of SNOMED International since 01.01.2021. The BfArM has the responsibility to coordinate a German-language translation. There is no quality-assured German complete translation of the concepts available yet. Translations will be provided use-case based, primarily focussed on relevance to the German healthcare system.

In 2020, a working group has been established in the D-A-CH-LUX area to provide a coordinated German-language reference translation of SNOMED CT. BfArM is participating in this working group.

If you see an urgent need for translation, please send your request to snomed@bfarm.de , providing information to the specific translation need and background information. We will provide regular updates on the status of the translation on our website.
