What is the advantage for the medical community to use a "universal" language?

Using a universal language makes it easy for medical professionals all around the world to communicate their ideas and findings, as well as comment on and test the experiments of each other. If there was no universal language among professionals internationally, then we would have a much more difficult time exchanging information as having to translate and convert each country's respective medical language into one's own would greatly damage the efficiency of medical communication and would possibly heavily slow the advancement of the medical field.
