If Covid-19 has shown us anything it is the importance of ensuring that health information is accurately conveyed to culturally and linguistically diverse communities. The Routledge Handbook of Translation and Health is not only a very welcome but also a timely addition to the field. Ineke H M Crezee, Auckland University of Technology, New Zealand This volume is an extraordinary contribution not only to the field of translation and interpreting but also to that of health. The breadth of topics from historical considerations of translation of medical texts, to highly current issues such as child language brokering in healthcare settings and global pandemics speaks to translation and interpreting's crucial role in the past, present and future. I have no doubt that the volume will be of great interest to scholars and practitioners in translation studies as well as in the health domain. Sharon O'Brien, Dublin City University, Ireland This comprehensive handbook provides innovative thoughts through a stellar group of renowned contributors providing much needed and timely discussions from a wide variety of interdisciplinary perspectives. Revisiting multilingual communication in healthcare setting at the time of the cascading COVID-19 crisis could offer a springboard for future research in the field, and the handbook certainly encourages this. This handbook is user-friendly and easy to use for its inclusion of ontological and epistemological translation and health topics, full references, an index of key terms, especially the panoramic further reading at the end of each chapter is extremely useful for readers to learn and further research more about the topics it covers.
