The Union Minister of Health & Family Welfare, Dr Harsh Vardhan virtually started the Integrated Health Information Platform (IHIP), in the presence of\u00a0 of Shri Ashwini Kumar Choubey, Minister of State for Health and Family Welfare. Chief Minister Shri Tirath Singh Rawat (Uttarkhand) was also present digitally. The Integrated Health Information Platform \u00a0is the next generation highly refined version of the presently used\u00a0 Integrated Disease Surveillance Programme (IDSP).\u00a0 The virtual event was attended by Health Ministers of various States including Shri Balbir Singh Sidhu (Punjab), Shri Alexander Laloo Hek (Meghalaya), Dr. K. Sudhakar (Karnataka), Dr. Prabhuram Choudhary (Madhya Pradesh), Shri Jai Pratap Singh (Uttar Pradesh), Shri Etela Rajendra (Telangana), Shri T. S. Singh Deo (Chhattisgarh), Dr R. Lalthangliana (Mizoram), and Shri S. Pangnyu Phom (Nagaland). Expressing his enthusiasm at the brave, futuristic and pertinent amalgamation of healthcare and technology, Dr Harsh Vardhan stated that \u201cThis day shall be written in Golden Letters as a day that marks a milestone in the history of disease surveillance. We have started a new chapter in India\u2019s public health trajectory. India is the first country in the world to adopt such an advanced disease surveillance system.\u201d He elaborated on the timely need for the software platform: \u201cThe new version of IHIP will house the data entry and management for India\u2019s disease surveillance program. In addition to tracking 33 diseases now as compared to the earlier 18 diseases, it shall ensure near-real-time data in digital mode, having done away with the paper-mode of working\u201d. Terming this as the world’s biggest online disease surveillance platform, he stated that it is in sync with the National Digital Health Mission and fully compatible with the other digital information systems presently being used in India. The refined IHIP with automated -data will help in a big way in real time data collection, aggregation & further analysis of data that will aid and enable evidence-based policy making, he explained. He applauded NCDC, WHO and all those who have been associated with this development. Dr Harsh Vardhan stated that IHIP will give health information system developed for real time, case-based information, integrated analytics, advanced visualization capability. It will provide analyzed reports on mobile or other electronic devices. In addition, outbreak investigation activities can be initiated and monitored electronically. It can easily be integrated with other ongoing surveillance program, while having the feature of addition of special surveillance modules. Dr Harsh Vardhan stated that such an advanced digital platform for scouting the earliest signs of disease spread in the smallest of villages and blocks in the country will immensely help in nipping in the bud any potential outbreak or epidemic. He applauded the hard work and commitment of all the grassroots and frontline healthcare workers who have toiled the whole of last year during COVID pandemic He stated, \u201cIndia has shown to the world that even during a pandemic, we are capable of developing such an advanced disease surveillance system.\u201d. He further observed that the platform is a success story of the \u2018Make in India\u2019 initiative and a step towards Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi\u2019s dream of Aatma-Nirbhar Swastha Bharat.<\/p>\n

\u201cAccurate, reliable and timely information is crucial for a country such as India which has a population of 1.35 billion\u201d, he pointed out. India\u2019s information system for precision public health is essential for delivering \u2018the right intervention at the right time, every time to the right population.\u2019 Pointing out that in recent years, the use of technology to enhance precision in public health, including the use of pathogen genomics, enhanced surveillance and informatics, and targeted interventions has steadily gone up, \u00a0he cautioned that the success of this platform will also depend primarily on the quality of data shared by the states. Congratulating everyone associated with development of this visionary digital platform, Shri Ashwini Kumar Choubey, Minister of State (HFW) stated that India has made standards of quality in healthcare: \u201cWith IHIP, collection of authentic data will become easy as it comes directly from the village\/block level; the last mile from the country. With its implementation, we are fast marching towards Atma Nirbha Bharat in healthcare through use of technology.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shri Rajesh Bhushan, Union Health Secretary informed that in terms of the geographical coverage of the surveillance, along with the number of diseases covered and the quantum of data generated, this makes IHIP one of the largest such digital health platforms globally. Data will be provided in real time through the grassroots healthcare workers through their gadgets (tablets); the doctors at the PHC\/CHC\/SHD\/DH when the citizens seek healthcare; and the diagnostic labs which will give data on the tests carried out. Terming this as a \u2018historic day\u2019 not only for India for global public health, Dr Roderico Ofrin, WHO Representative to India stated that this refined digital surveillance platform will help to provide and connect data and move towards \u2018One Health\u2019 approach. He mentioned that the portal is a great resource for timely health response measures to be mounted; not only programming, but also in disease prioritisation. He applauded India for this timely development.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
