Overview

In a major step to promote the use of Hindi and make medical communication easier for patients, the Union Health Ministry has directed doctors at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Delhi, to use Hindi while prescribing medicines and in their day-to-day work as much as possible.

As per several local media reports, AIIMS has instructed its doctors to write prescriptions in Hindi instead of English so that patients can easily understand their medicines and instructions. This change aims to help the general public, especially those from rural areas who often struggle to read English prescriptions.
