Delhi Hospitals to Issue Birth Certificates in Three Days
The Delhi government wants to make it easier for parents to get birth certificates for their babies.
Currently, it can take a month to get one.
Now, they plan to let hospitals give out certificates within three days of birth.
Hospitals will collect the needed information and then upload it to the system.
Doctors can then issue the certificate right away.
This will reduce the need for parents to visit government offices and will use digitisation to make things easier.
The initiative is part of a broader push toward digitization and will start at RML Hospital.
Delhi government plans to authorize hospitals and health institutions to issue birth certificates.
The aim is to reduce the current waiting time of 28 days to a month.
Hospitals will upload the data to the civil registration system to generate certificates.
The new process aims to digitize and ease the burden on parents.
The initiative will begin with RML Hospital and will be rolled out to all health institutions.
