Union Health Secretary, Preeti Sudan launched the Integrated Disease Surveillance Programme (IDSP) as a part of the Integrated Health Information Platform (IHIP) on 26 November 2018.
The initiative will provide near-real-time data to policymakers for detecting outbreaks, reducing the morbidity and mortality and lessening disease burden in the people, according to a Press Information Bureau press release.
“For World Health Organisation (WHO), it has been a privilege to support the development of the platform in collaboration with numerous government stakeholders,” said WHO Representative to India, Dr Henk Bekedam.
IHIP uses the latest technologies to collect and secure health record management, which will help better diagnosis of diseases, reduce patient re-visits and prevent medical errors and to take better decisions.
