What are the safety and security requirements? If you're handling
patient investigation results then there are certainly security issues
because of patient confidentiality, and there may be safety issues
(could a software fault contribute to a patient receiving incorrect
treatment, or failing to receive necessary treatment?)

You almost certainly need to contact the appropriate regulatory
authority to check whether they have any requirements for languages in
such applications (and for specific development processes), or you
could find yourself either with an application you can't use or a very
big lawsuit and possibly jail if it goes wrong.
