In a linguistically diverse country like India, mastering medicine in just English can create barriers—especially for students from rural or non-English backgrounds.
Should the institutions and innovators address this gap?

The institutors do address this
Most institutions use hindi and english while teaching
And as for various states the local language is preferred too
For AIQ students local language classes are arranged for them to understand and communicate with patients better
Certain institutions train students in their local language like tamil , hindi based on the language of the students present their. But at the same case when it comes to the topic medicine every instructor train them mostly in english than other languages. The institution should train the instructor both in english and in local language that is understandable for the students
it do, many countryside persons are even not able to understand what doctor trying to say ( even it is in hindi) as many of them can only express in their native language
Absolutely @Shagufta. Language shouldn’t be a barrier to learning medicine or accessing healthcare.
Institutions and innovators must work towards making medical education more inclusive by offering resources in regional languages. This can empower students from all backgrounds and ultimately improve healthcare across the country.

Yes they need to concentrate about the rural region students too because everyone came here for education with lot of hopes and by paying huge amount of fees for fulfilling their dreams.so this needs to be changed.
