Communication is terribly important, especially in a human-oriented field like medicine. If the patients speak English, doctors should learn English to be able to tell their patients when something is wrong. Similarly, if the patient speaks Chinese, then the doctor should know how to speak Chinese.

If the doctor and the patient can't communicate, then the chances of something going wrong increase. For example, if the doctor didn't know the English word for "pneumonia," "meningitis," or "cancer," he or she might say the wrong thing, and the patient would become very sick (or possibly die).

Or, if the doctor is a native speaker but simply has terrible spelling and/or grammar, their prescription slips would be terrifying for a pharmacist. The difference between two medications can be as simple as one or two letters, and when one will kill and one will heal, no one wants to take any chances. Plus, doctors have famously illegible handwriting in the first place, which only increases the chances of something going wrong.

Basically, medicine is a very "people-oriented" field of learning, and in order to do well with patients, doctors need to be able to communicate clearly and efficiently.

Why is teaching English to foreigners is important?

When was it important for a foreigner to learn English. Whatever language you speak is your language. It's like someone who speaks English (because to others, they are foreigners) goes somewhere and HAS to learn the language. If it was important it would probably be because the countries that speak English are quite civilised and foreigners some to get away from say... war, crime, poverty. They are going to want to know how to speak English.
