The reality of the medical sector in Algeria highlights the intersection between language and social issues, as medical education remains heavily tied to the French language since independence. Despite the heroic efforts of the founding generation of doctors to build a national health system, the continued dominance of French in training has created a dependency on foreign medical literature. Students experience a 'linguistic weaning' when transitioning from Arabic education to French-taught medicine, which exacerbates social inequality, favoring those from Francophone backgrounds. This extends into the professional sphere, where language functions as a social discriminator. Consequently, the national languages suffer, leading to the rise of hybrid communication patterns in daily professional life, reflecting the enduring legacy of the dual economic and social structures established during the colonial era.
