Medicines data to be linked with Aadhar in Kerala

Project to cost Rs 90 Cr

GN Bureau | September 19, 2012

The Kerala state health department is planning to create a system to record the medical data of the people electronically. This data will be available to be accessed by doctors across the state on the production of the Aadhaar card. Kerala expects to cover everyone under the unique identification scheme by March 2013. The proposal, costing Rs 90 Cr has been submitted to the government for approval.
"Based on the UID card, we intend to build a database of people's medical history. It will include details of their pregnancy, medical complications, treatment, medicines prescribed, tests conducted and results. This data can be accessed by government doctors across government hospitals", said health secretary Rajeev Sadanandan.
