Haryana Uses SAMRIDDHI to Cut Maternal, Neonatal Mortality
Haryana is starting a system called SAMRIDDHI to help keep mothers and newborn babies safer.
Every pregnant woman will be registered in the system.
Her health information will be kept in one secure digital record.
The record can be updated whether she visits a government or private hospital.
Doctors and health workers will receive alerts about tests, deliveries and follow-up care.
Women with high-risk pregnancies will be checked more often than women with normal pregnancies.
A call centre staffed by trained nurses will give advice and help women reach the right hospital.
The goal is to find problems early and provide help quickly.
Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini announced the SAMRIDDHI system to reduce maternal and neonatal mortality.
The government plans to register every pregnant woman and monitor her through pregnancy, delivery and postpartum care.
The portal will connect with a state command centre and a 102 Maternal and Child Health Call Centre.
The system will identify high-risk pregnancies and support timely referrals to higher-level health facilities.
Government and private hospitals, along with medical colleges, will update a woman’s unified digital pregnancy record.
