Chandigarh: Haryana Chief Minister, Nayab Singh Saini, said that the State Government is implementing the ‘SAMRIDDHI’ to reduce maternal and neonatal mortality and ensure timely and quality healthcare services for pregnant women. The government aims to register every pregnant woman in the state on the portal and continuously monitor her health throughout pregnancy, during delivery and in the post-partum period.
The Chief Minister said that the ‘SAMRIDDHI’ Portal, State-Level Command Centre and 102 Maternal and Child Health Call Centre will be integrated through modern technology. The integrated system will help ensure better healthcare services for pregnant women, timely identification of high-risk pregnancies and prompt referral to higher-level health facilities whenever required.
Unique SAMRIDDHI ID for Every Pregnant Woman
The Chief Minister said that every pregnant woman will be mandatorily registered and provided a unique ‘SAMRIDDHI ID’, enabling all health information related to her pregnancy to be securely maintained at a single place. The system will cover women receiving treatment at government hospitals as well as private hospitals and medical colleges.
Irrespective of the hospital where a woman receives treatment, her essential health information will be updated on the portal through her ‘SAMRIDDHI ID’, ensuring the availability of a comprehensive digital record of her pregnancy.
Special Monitoring of High-Risk Pregnancies
Under the ‘SAMRIDDHI’ system, high-risk pregnancies will be identified on time. ANMs, doctors and health officials will receive timely information and alerts regarding necessary examinations, upcoming deliveries, follow-ups and other services.
Women with high-risk pregnancies will be contacted at regular intervals. Women with normal pregnancies will be contacted every three months, while those with high-risk pregnancies will be monitored more frequently. As the expected date of delivery approaches, the frequency of contact and monitoring will be increased to ensure immediate assistance in case of an emergency.
