Portuguese term

de forma complementar

Portuguese to English Medical Medical: Health Care I can't tell whether this would be complimentary services (as in free of charge) or services that compliment each other (like they work well together, fill different needs).
O SUS é composto também por serviços e estabelecimentos privados que participam do sistema de forma complementar

Discussion

DCtranslator (X) (asker) Feb 6, 2011:
supplement, on a supplementary basis etc... That is the English term I was searching for (supplement or supplementary)! I think the word supplement conveys the meaning better than compliment, in the context of health care, although they are probably both technically correct. Originally I had translated it using the term "compliment". THANK YOU LADIES! I appreciate your professional opinions!
