**Patients in Gujarat are most comfortable in Gujarati, but they talk about their health in a mix of
Gujarati and English.** "Mane knee ma pain chhe, orthopaedic doctor ne batavvu chhe" is a normal
sentence. A hospital calling agent that only speaks formal Gujarati or only English misses that. This
guide covers how hospitals and clinics in Gujarat use Gujarati AI voice calls, based on a real
multi-specialty hospital group that runs its patient intake calls in Gujarati.

## Where Gujarati AI calls help hospitals

| Call | What the agent does |
|---|---|
| Referral intake | Confirms name, treatment needed, department and arrival time |
| Arrival confirmation | Checks the patient is still coming and when |
| Appointment reminders | Reminds and records confirm, reschedule or cancel |
| Camp follow-ups | Calls camp attendees who need further care |
| Routine questions | OPD timings, directions, what to bring |

The Gujarat hospital group uses the first one: a Gujarati "medical assistant" collects the patient's
name, what treatment they need, which department's doctor they should see and when they'll come, and
the details go to a Google Sheet for the front desk. See the
[case study](https://edesy.in/ai-voice-assistant/case-studies/hospital-referral-intake-gujarati).

## Getting the language right

- **Gujarati first, English terms kept.** Department names, test names and "check-up" stay in English.
- **Switch when the patient switches.** Many patients answer in Hindi; let the agent follow.
- **Respectful address.** Use the respectful form of address and the patient's name.
- **Short questions.** One question per turn, especially with older patients.
- **Read numbers clearly.** Times and dates repeated back in a way patients understand.

## Safety rules for healthcare calls

- The agent **never gives medical advice** or suggests medicines.
- **Emergencies go to the hospital's emergency number**, said clearly and early.
- Collect **only what the hospital needs to act**.
- Tell patients the call is **automated and recorded**, and offer a transfer to a person during
  working hours.

## Getting started

1. Write the intake or reminder script in Gujarati with your front-desk team.
2. Define the data fields you want back (name, need, department, arrival).
3. Connect a Google Sheet or your own system for results.
4. Test on your own phone, then run a small pilot.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Can an AI voice agent speak Gujarati with patients?

Yes. Edesy agents can hold natural Gujarati conversations and switch to Hindi or English when the patient does. A multi-specialty hospital group in Gujarat runs its patient intake calls in Gujarati.

### How are medical terms handled in Gujarati calls?

Most patients in Gujarat use English words for departments, tests and procedures, such as 'orthopaedic', 'sonography' or 'check-up'. The agent keeps those terms in English inside a Gujarati sentence, which sounds more natural than a forced translation.

### What can a Gujarati AI agent do for a hospital?

Collect intake details from referred patients, confirm expected arrival times, remind patients of appointments, follow up after a camp or procedure, and answer routine questions like timings and directions. It does not give medical advice.

### Can the agent transfer the call to a person?

Yes. The agent can transfer the call to your reception or a coordinator during working hours, and direct emergencies to the hospital's emergency number.

### How much do Gujarati AI calls cost?

The same as other languages: Rs 4-6 per started minute from a prepaid wallet depending on your top-up, and unanswered calls are free. Start with Rs 50 free credit.
