Delays and disruptions in CGHS new portal leave patients without medicines
NEW DELHI: A transition to a new e-interface by the Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS) of its Health Management Information System (HMIS) portal has led to delays and disruptions in accessing medicines to thousands of beneficiaries in Delhi NCR. Patients complained facing delay of over 10 days in getting essential medicines for their health conditions, which is attributed to server issues and incomplete patient data uploads. The issue has severely impacted beneficiaries who rely on government dispensaries for treatment. Out of 151 CGHS dispensary units in the Delhi NCR region, around 139 are located in the national capital. While Ayurvedic and homeopathic medicines are available in a few centres, most dispensaries primarily distribute allopathic medicines. However, with the new digital interface facing technical glitches, most of these facilities have been unable to provide even basic allopathic drugs on time. Patients across multiple locations have reported being turned away daily. Vineet Raje, a resident of RK Puram, said she has been unable to collect his prescribed medicines for several days.

Delhi to roll out unified health information system, control room for real-time monitoring
New Delhi: In a push towards digital transformation in healthcare , the Delhi government will implement a comprehensive Health Management Information System (HMIS) across all its hospitals, Health Minister Pankaj Singh said on Thursday. As part of the plan, a centralised healthcare control room equipped with a robust dashboard to monitor real-time data such as bed availability, medicine stocks, diagnostic trends, and resource utilisation, will be established in all Delhi hospitals, he said. The system will also facilitate centralised alerts and generate actionable insights to improve decision-making and governance. "We are working towards a single digital health platform where real-time data from all hospitals, including primary health centres and super-speciality hospitals, can be viewed through one unified dashboard," Singh said. This will eliminate inefficiencies, empower doctors, and provide seamless access to care for every citizen, he added. Integrated with the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM), the HMIS will feature digital tools for patient registration, appointments, billing, diagnostics, ward management, and more. Patients will be able to access prescriptions, lab reports, and discharge summaries through mobile apps and WhatsApp. The system will also allow consent-based digital sharing of health records using ABHA (Ayushman Bharat Health Account) IDs, ensuring privacy and interoperability. Voice-to-text transcription for prescriptions, performance analytics for doctors, and data on medicine usage and diagnostic load will further enhance efficiency and accountability within the healthcare system, the Health Department said in a statement. The minister also conducted an inspection of the Janakpuri Super Speciality Hospital, and said, "It is our priority that better treatment and facilities are available to the patients. I assure Delhiites that I will work towards restoring the past glory of the hospital".
