UP Health Minister Urges Doctors to Write Prescriptions in Hindi for Patient Clarity
Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister and Health Minister Brajesh Pathak has urged doctors to write medicine and test names in Hindi or Devanagari script on prescriptions to help patients better understand medical instructions. He emphasized communicating in local languages like Bhojpuri and Awadhi to strengthen doctor-patient trust. Pathak linked this appeal to promoting Indian languages, citing Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya's birth anniversary and Prime Minister Modi's use of Hindi abroad. Some doctors noted practical challenges in implementing this change.
