Abstract: NLP Based Retrieval of Medical Information is the extraction of medical data from narrative clinical documents. In this paper, we provide the way to diagnose diseases with the help of natural language interpretation and classification techniques. However extraction of medical information is difficult task due to complex symptom names and complex disease names. For diagnosis we will be using two approaches, one is getting disease names with the help of classifiers and another way is using the patterns with the help of NLP for getting the information related to diseases. These both approaches will be applied according to the question type

Keywords: NLP, narrative text, extraction, medical information, expert system
