The general situation in health centres is that you should have your own translator with you when you visit your doctor. I can get by from day to day with my rudimentary Spanish, my brain is not quick enough to translate what is said to me very quickly and then put together a reply, but when I visit my doctor I invariably take a translator with me as I don't really want anything to get 'lost in translation' and you cannot put a price on your health.

I too asked this question and was given a name. However, after filling in the appropriate form and submitting it, the request was turned down as not understanding your doctor is not a valid request. You have to take your own translator.
