JSMU students create multilingual medical history handbook in Karachi
Students at Jinnah Sindh Medical University in Karachi have developed a free digital handbook covering seven languages to improve patient communication.
Handbook covers seven local and international languages
The resource includes English, Urdu, Sindhi, Saraiki, Punjabi, Pashto and Balochi. It allows medical students to understand symptoms and ask relevant questions effectively. This tool helps obtain accurate medical histories for clinical assessment.
Project supervised by university faculty members
Dr Sadaf Razzaq and Prof Dr Ambreen Usmani oversaw the project completion. Abdul Tawab Ishaq served as a final-year MBBS student and former group president during development. The Internal Medicine Interest Group of Sindh Medical College managed the initiative.
Officials praise cross-border service contribution
Vice Chancellor Prof Dr Amjad Siraj Memon stated the goal was removing language barriers in clinical settings. Sri Lankan Consul General Sanjeeva Pathiwella noted that Ishaq's work transcended national boundaries.
