New Delhi, 29 October (Hindustan Reporter). Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday launched the U WIN portal to promote digitalization in healthcare. Union Health Minister JP Nadda described the launch of You Win portal as historic.
He tweeted and said that this is a historic step towards advancing digitalization in health care. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has launched the U-WIN portal, merging health and technology to benefit pregnant women and infants. This fully digital platform streamlines the vaccination process, ensuring timely access to life-saving vaccines against 12 vaccine-preventable diseases for pregnant women and children (birth to 16 years).
Nadda said Prime Minister Modi also introduced a dedicated portal for affiliated health care professionals and institutions, which acts as a centralized database to manage and verify existing health care professionals and institutions across India.
What is this U-Win portal?
U WIN stands for Universal Immunization Programme. It is a portal to track the vaccination programme. Just as the Covin app was launched to track Covid-19 vaccination, in the same way many vaccines are administered to prevent various diseases. U WIN portal has been launched to track that vaccination. With the help of U Win App, a centralized digital record will be created, in which records of vaccination of children and pregnant women will be kept.
Records of free vaccination against 12 preventable diseases to all pregnant women and children will be tracked on the U WIN portal. These include diphtheria, pertussis (whooping cough), tetanus, polio, measles, rubella, severe childhood tuberculosis, rotavirus diarrhea, hepatitis B, meningitis and pneumonia caused by Haemophilus influenzae type b and pneumococcal pneumonia. Information about the vaccine doses to be given to women and children will be available on the U Win portal. It will also inform the user about the next dose. This will make it easier to ensure complete vaccination.
