ICNET services are being used by the Directorate of Health in Madhya Pradesh to prepare and transmit health bulletins on Family Welfare and Mother and Child Health (MCH).
Monthly progress reports on 15 Programmes related to Family Welfare and Mother and Child Health are prepared in the NIC District Centres and transmitted over NICNET to the NIC Madhya Pradesh State Centre in Bhopal. The progress reports are then analysed for performance ranking of Divisions and Districts with respect to the Programmes and the Health Bulletin generated. This Health Bulletin is then transmitted to all the districts through NICNET.
The whole process of preparation and transmission of the monthly progress reports from the Districts, and generation and compilation of the Health Bulletin, is run by a suitable software developed by the NIC Madhya Pradesh State Unit.
NIC has also helped the administration in the development of a database on health institutions viz. Sub-health centres, Primary Health Centres and District Hospitals in Madhya Pradesh. An integrated Computerized Health Information System (COHIS) was developed by NIC and implemented in all the Districts of Madhya Pradesh.
