There will be a break on the arbitrariness of doctors! When did you come to the hospital, what did you do and when did you leave… Now everything will be live recorded, the Health Minister will keep a close watch. A check on doctors’ arbitrary conduct! When they arrive at the hospital, what they do, and when they leave—everything will now be recorded live, with the Health Minister keeping a direct watch.

The Health Ministry has taken a very revolutionary step to make the health system of government hospitals completely transparent and accountable. Now the complaints of lateness and absence of doctors and medical staff in hospitals are going to be curbed forever. According to the new guidelines, moment-to-moment data of when doctors came on duty in the hospital, which patients they treated throughout the day, what diagnosis they made and when they left the hospital, all these things will be recorded live digitally. Through this high-tech monitoring system, the Health Minister himself will directly monitor the entire system.

Every activity of doctors will be tracked through high-tech digital system

Patients often complain in hospitals that doctors do not attend OPD on time or remain missing during duty hours. To eliminate this problem from its roots, modern technology and AI-powered software is being used. A special tracking mechanism will be implemented along with biometric attendance in the hospital premises. Under this, it will be mandatory for doctors to record the time of seeing patients, making their prescriptions and taking ward rounds on the system in real-time, so that there will be no scope for manipulation at any level.

Main hospitals of the country and state will be directly connected to the Health Minister’s dashboard.

The biggest feature of this new system is that its complete control and live data will be available directly on the special digital dashboard created in the office of the Health Minister. The Health Minister will be able to see the live status of any government hospital at any time, how many doctors are present there and whether the health services are running smoothly or not. From local and district level hospitals to big medical colleges, they are being connected to this centralized system, so that patients in both rural and urban areas can get direct benefits from it.

Patients will get better health facilities and accurate treatment on time.

The direct and biggest benefit of this strict step will be to the general public and poor patients who come to government hospitals from far-flung areas for treatment. By ensuring 100% attendance of doctors, long queues in OPD will be reduced and patients will be able to get timely treatment. Senior officials of the health department say that this rule is being implemented not to harass the doctors, but to improve the quality of health services and to revive the lost trust in the government medical system among the public.
