THE STATE, BY INVESTING in technologies like data analytics and Blockchain, is preparing the base to improve citizens' health. J A Chowdary, IT Advisor and Special Chief Secretary to Govt of AP, shares more details
Andhra Pradesh has been featured as one of the top performing states in the recently released Health Index by the Niti Aayog. The state government has previously rolled out, and is in the process of rolling out many technology initiatives in order to provide healthcare related, important data to citizens. The approach is to establish a preventive healthcare system for the overall well being of the state, which also concurs with India’s commitment to the United Nations’ health-related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh holds the portfolio of ‘Happiness Index’, which is closely related to health. He personally tracks the development of the major factors affecting the citizen's happiness, one of which is health. The approach the state has taken is on how to encourage citizens to be preventive against health ailments. The district and primary health centres are equipped with advanced medical equipment. Citizens are provided diagnostic facilities for regular health checkups. This will result in reduction of the healthcare care costs of citizens by spending less on health care costs vis-a-vis, spend after the disease has already reached an advanced stage, which requires hospitalisation, operation or surgery, etc.
