About us

Who we are

Yanina Radzishevskaya, medical interpreter and founder of MEDA, at a hospital in Buenos Aires

I'm Yanina Radzishevskaya. I arrived here as a Russian expat and I'm Argentine now — twelve years in Buenos Aires, on every side of medical care: as a patient, as a medical student, and as a professional medical interpreter in the room for more than 200 people's consultations.

I'm not a doctor and I don't give medical opinions. But I've watched hundreds of consultations go well and go badly, and I know exactly where the difference comes from. That's what MEDA is built on.

Now MEDA is a team of four, and it's what we do full time. We coordinate around 500 consultations and studies a year in Buenos Aires.

What happens to what you tell us

We've just asked you to bring us the things you don't discuss easily. So it's worth saying plainly what happens to them.

Your case is handled by a small, named team — you'll know exactly who's involved and why. We don't discuss clients with each other, with doctors outside your case, or with anyone else. Doctors receive only what's clinically necessary for the consultation in front of them.

We work with a limited number of clients at a time. That's partly about quality of attention, and partly this: nothing gets discussed loosely when there isn't a crowd.

Let's talk about what's been sitting on your health list.
