The Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, in collaboration with the Directorate of Health Services, Government of Goa, organised an exclusive tour of outstanding Primary Health Care Centres (PHC) in the state ahead of the second G20 Health Working Group Meeting, which will be held in Goa from April 17-19, 2023. The tour was sponsored by UNICEF and was attended by a delegation of national and local media representatives.

In the Health track, India’s G20 Presidency has identified three priorities: health emergency prevention and preparedness; strengthening cooperation in the pharmaceutical sector; and digital health innovation and solutions. The tour highlighted India’s achievements in Digital Health Innovations, such as the implementation of the Ayushman Bharat Digital Health Mission at PHC Corlim.

The adoption and use of the Hospital Management Information System (E-Sushrut) as well as the generation of Ayushman Bharat Health Accounts (ABHA) were highlighted at PHC Corlim. E-Sushrut also demonstrated the integration of Central Registration, General OPD, Physiotherapy, Dental OPD, Ophthalmic OPD, Ayurvedic OPD, Pharmacy, and Laboratory. From token generation to medicine prescription and dispensing, the PHC has achieved complete digitisation, ensuring seamless and delay-free access to healthcare.

Another component that was prominently highlighted was the successful implementation of the Pradhan Mantri National Dialysis Program (PMNDP). The PMDNP portal integrates all of the NHM-operated dialysis centres in the state, facilitating the creation of a renal registry and ensuring portability within the state (one state, one dialysis) and, eventually, throughout the country (One Nation-One Dialysis). Patients in the state receive free dialysis through the Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana and the Deen Dayal Swastha Seva Yojana. Currently, the state has over 100 dialysis machines spread across various PHCs, ensuring safe and affordable care.
