The Kannada Development Authority (KDA) has urged the Karnataka government to mandate that all medical prescriptions in public hospitals and health centers be written in Kannada, the state's official language. The KDA has formally written to Karnataka Health Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao, emphasizing the need for prescriptions to be in the local language to ensure better understanding and accessibility for patients. This move is part of a broader push to promote the use of Kannada in official and public communications within the state. BJP's Ashok Gowda has also shared his views on this initiative.
