The Department of Health and Family Welfare is all set to track every pregnancy in the state, from conception to birth, with the help of an Aadhaar-linked unique ID number.
Every year, Karnataka sees 11 lakh-13 lakh pregnant women. But data pertaining to all of them is not available with the department. Only those who are registered to avail benefits under the Reproductive and Child Health and the BPL category are kept track of.
When the new system is in place, every expectant mother will be given a unique ID number — the RCH (Reproductive and Child Health) number which will be linked to her Aadhaar card. Health Management and Information System (HMIS), a digital initiative under the National Health Mission by the Union Health Department, keeps statistics of pregnancy cases in the state.
