Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini said that the Health Department should be digitised from its headquarters down to the Sub Health Centres to ensure modern, fast and effective healthcare services reach every citizen. He said that facilities such as telemedicine, teleconsultation, e Upchar OPD, Tele ECG and health tracking should be made available to people to provide modern healthcare while saving both time and effort.
The Chief Minister gave these directions while reviewing the Health Department’s five year action plan under Haryana Vision 2047 at the Haryana Civil Secretariat on Thursday. During the meeting, he also reviewed the progress of Chief Minister’s announcements and Budget announcements related to the Health Department and directed officers to complete them within the stipulated timeframe.
Nayab Singh Saini said that under Vision 2047, the State Government has initiated several new measures to provide quick healthcare services to citizens through modern technologies, on the lines of developed countries. He said these initiatives must be taken to the grassroots level so that quality healthcare facilities are available uniformly at district hospitals, sub divisional hospitals, Community Health Centres (CHCs), Primary Health Centres (PHCs) and Sub Health Centres, thereby saving people’s time and reducing the need to travel long distances for treatment.
