•
It increases immunisation coverage.
• It reduces paper work of health workers
enabling them to focus more on ‘Immunisation’
rather than documentation.
• Information Technology is made use of
for a noble task of immunisation
in a cost effective and novel way.
• Technology at the cutting edge is introduced
by providing user- friendly
specially tailored handheld devices.
• ‘Smart cards’ is an investment
in future. Babies are provided with Smart
Cards, which track immunisation schedule and implementation.
• GSM & PSTN Networks used to synchronize
database from field. This de-links
personal visit of MPHA to the computer station/PHC
saving her
time and energy.
• Centralized database generates reports
for monitoring by PHC, District
Collector & Family welfare Commissioner at
State level.
• Handheld device generates Immunisation
receipts which clearly print
all immunisation doses given
and are due with due dates. It helps
in bringing the baby to the
Center on due date.
• Smart Card & Immunisation Receipt
de-link the baby to any particular
sub center. Parents can ensure immunisation doses
even when they are away from
home. The dates are captured on the Smart
Card to link back to the original Sub Centre.
• International organizations like WHO &
UNICEF can get exact feed back
(Name based) from the centralized database via
web portal. They can fund
the needy nations and ensure proper utilization
of funds.
• MPHA can generate missing children list
for a given data, which can be
covered in the next visit. ‘e-immunisation’
is an investment by the
states in the future. Much less is required now
on immunisation rather
than to spend on disability of future citizens.
