Hyderabad: Canadian health informatics player Pulsus plans to add 2,000 jobs through expansion of health informatics regional language translation activities in its India facilities.

This move is part of Pulsus strategy to tap the growing importance for scientific content translation in Hindi, Telugu, Malayalam, Tamil, Gujarati and Bengali.
