It is used to ask questions and answers according health issues so as you can get the symptoms in African language.
# π Development of a Multilingual Health Question Answering System for Low-Resource African Languages Using Natural Language Processing and Deep Learning
## π Project Overview
This project aims to develop an **AI-powered Multilingual Health Question Answering (MHQA) System** that enables users to ask healthcare-related questions in low-resource African languages and receive accurate responses in their preferred language.
The system leverages **Natural Language Processing (NLP)**, **Transformer-based Deep Learning models**, and **Machine Translation** techniques to bridge language barriers in healthcare communication.
The project is developed as part of an academic research project in Biomedical Equipment Engineering.
