Chandigarh, April 29

The Health Department of the state government is working on an innovative health model, which will allow screening of children for eye problems, across the state.

Proposed to be developed in coordination with Natralya Hospital in South India, the model will be software driven for which an MoU will be signed soon. 

“This is an example of how technology plays a greater role in data collection and disease monitoring,” said Amneet P Kumar, Secretary, Health and MD, National Health Mission, Haryana.

Speaking at Elets Healthcare Leaders Forum here on Friday, she said a number of e-initiatives had been taken by the Health Department, which included use of software to make data on non-communicable diseases available online.

“This will help in real-time monitoring of all patients and diseases across the state,” said Amneet P Kumar. 

Dr Raj Bahadur, Vice-Chancellor, Baba Farid University of Health Sciences, Faridkot, enumerated on how e-evaluation of examination answer papers had brought about accountability and transparency in the system. 

“We have introduced e-based examination system in which question papers are transferred online to the designated person in the examination hall just before the exam starts,” said Dr Raj Bahadur.
