NLP has been used in several areas within artificial intelligence and data processing applications such as social media applications and medical applications and translation applications. The medical field is one of the richest in terms of big data, which has not been well invested so far. one of these unused data was the text medical reports. Natural Language Processing analysis is an effective way of examining medical reports and social media data to improve treatments and patient services. by training a computer to make a decision instead of a human, as soon as possible from the decisions of specialist doctors or medical staff working in health institutions to diagnose diseases or Prescribe treatment to the patient.
