In recent years, with the rapid development of economic globalization proceeding, the medical exchanges among international countries have increasingly deepened, which further makes the significance of medical translation become more and more prominent. In this paper, a detailed introduction to Newmark’s Text Typology Theory and informative text was made. Then, from the perspective of Newmark’s Text Typology Theory, analyses were conducted on the lexical and syntactic features of medical text as an informational text and related translation methods were applied to medical translation. With the application of this theory, it was concluded that the practicality and specialty of medical translation were greatly improved, further providing some valuable references for the follow-up medical translation and enabling medicine to better serve the development of the medical field and benefit human health welfare.
