JSMU students create multilingual medical history handbook in Karachi
Students at Jinnah Sindh Medical University in Karachi developed a free digital handbook covering seven languages to improve patient communication.
Handbook covers multiple languages
The resource includes English, Urdu, Sindhi, Saraiki, Punjabi, Pashto and Balochi. It helps medical students understand symptoms and ask relevant questions during clinical assessments.
Project led by faculty members
Dr Sadaf Razzaq and Prof Dr Ambreen Usmani supervised the work under the Internal Medicine Interest Group. Abdul Tawab Ishaq served as a final-year MBBS student and former group president during development.
Officials praise the initiative
Vice Chancellor Prof Dr Amjad Siraj Memon stated the project removes language barriers in clinical settings. Sri Lankan Consul General Sanjeeva Pathiwella noted that Ishaq demonstrated service transcending national boundaries.
