Project Jeevandainee

Zilla Parishad Wardha

Highlights

  • 98.5 percent institutional deliveries registered since implementation of project
  • MMR reduced from 90 to 51 percent in 2 years

The project was started in order to provide timely and effective ante-natal care and post natal care to be delivered to both the mother and child. The idea was to use technology to increase the productivity of the health service providers. In order to improve the service delivery, the Chief utive Officer, Zilla Parishad of Wardha, Gunjan Krishna devised SMS based ANC and PNC tracking system.

Under the system the health information collection and updating happens real time by way of SMS. Based on the information, the software generates the maternity card/ immunisation card and due dates of health checkups. Expected date of delivery, immunisation dates are created and alerts for the ANC, PNC and immunisation services are sent before the due date to the health workers in order to ensure timely delivery of services.

The goal of the project is to improve the health of the mother and child as reflected in the MMR, IMR, institutional delivery and percentage of low birth rate babies. The objective is to ensure 100 percent registration of ANC cases at a stipulated time, to ensure the timely payment of JSY benefits and to ensure timely and complete immunisation of child born between 0-6 years.

  • The decision support achieved very high specificity and sensitivity (more than 95 percent in various cases)

A novel mobile phone based clinical decision-support technology for village health providers to improve antenatal care for mothers and child health. With this premise a team of doctors from Stanley Medical College (SMC) and a group of engineers from National Institute of Technology, Karnataka started working on a decision-support technology for health-workers.

With the ever increasing proliferation of mobile phones, the project has a platform which could be used to take away all the memorising and analysis out of the protocols by use of Information and communication technology.

The objectives of starting the program were to develop a decision support technology for village health workers (VHW), provide immediate management of illness through diagnosis, treatment and advice of referral to secondary/ tertiary care and use the generated data for reminder and alerts enabling effective patient follow-up, tracking andmonitoring of illness over time.
