PROGRESS: Has your organization seen progress toward a culture of peace and nonviolence in your domain of action and in your constituency during the first half of the Decade?

1.   Implemented project at General & Civil Hospital, Sirsa district of Haryana State of India in association of District Administration and District Red Cross Society. Also implemented Birth / Death Registration & Certificate software. Wireless on Local Loop (WLL) Telephone & ISP connection is used for Data Transfer. Polio affected handicapped personnel has been hired for issuance of Health Cards. Around 46000 rural & urban people has benefited by the project. Here, we have bagged order from the Deputy Commissioner, Sirsa to implement at all 178 PHC’s / CHC’s / Hospitals.

Around 46000 health cards have been distributed to the people of Sirsa. Out of which 10000 cards distributed to the Below Poverty Line (BPL) people Free of Cost. Rest 36000 cards made for general population. Which has generated revenue of Rs. 1,80,000/- (Rupees, One Lakh and Eighty thousand Only).  [@ Rs.5/- per card]. The District Red Cross Society is keeping the entire Transaction amount for sustenance of project.

Simultaneously, the medical data of the patient are being stored and upgraded on regular basis.

2.   e-Swasthya: A Health Card & Online Medical Advice Software and network 21 health centres for benefiting unprivileged mass of the Madhubani district, Bihar, India using Information Technology. It would enable the patients to walk into any health centre and with the patient ID their health history would be extracted from the network, which can also be updated by the authorized user. The MPLAD Fund of (Ex-M.P-Rajya Sabha) is used to develop the infrastructure.

3. Signed intent with IBM Canada Ltd. and Saskatchewan Telecommunications International, Inc., in conjunction with Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL), and is being funded by the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA). A pilot project will be carried out in some 30 villages {one kiosk each per village} of Hoshangabad and Harda District, both in Madhya Pradesh. Here, we are assigned to provide eHealth-Care Tele-Medicine Software at each kiosk.

OBSTACLES: What are the most important obstacles that have prevented progress?

Convincing the doctors. Change of Administration. Lack of electricity.

ACTIONS: What actions have been undertaken by your organization to promote a culture of peace and nonviolence during the first half of the Decade?

Health Cards issued to all the villagers on a fee who visit health centres for treatment (it holds details like, Registration Number, Password, individuals name, age, address & photograph) and details like (weight, blood group, allergies, diagnosis, treatment & medicine prescribed) is being uploaded and updated online which can be accessed from any where in the world. Online Medical advice will be arranged to the villager so that they need not to travel far off places.
It has been experienced that whenever a disease is cured we generally misplace our prescription. And especially in rural area people tend to forget what all diseases they have gone through and generally not able to narrate to the doctor when required.

For instance if doctor has to prescribe an ‘antibiotic’ to the patient, he has to have thorough knowledge of his past medical history. Which most of them do not have or not able to narrate as they are mostly illiterate.

The system will save doctors times because at one glance he can see the patient’s past medical history and current medical reports after feeding User Id and password of the patient.

The government can have exact report on:

How many patients are being examined in a remote health centre?
Can track down doctor’s presence?
What all diseases prevalent in the area?
Any spread of new disease can be known in minutes?

Generally it happens that medicines which does not have any relevance for a particular area is being supplied without giving proper result. E:g, Typhoid medicines are made available along with Jaundice in area where people suffering from Jaundice.

eHealth-Care project is to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of India's antiquated healthcare by use of information technology systems. eHealth-Care can achieve large cost savings and improve patient care by bringing the rural India health care systems into the information age.

The sad fact is that processing a single health care transaction can cost less. Other industries have drastically reduced administrative costs by using modern information technology. Health care remains one of the few industries clinging to antiquated 20th century technology. This project will provide the tools for health care systems to make a great leap forward by using new technologies to cut costs. The system and process will definitely give the doctors working at PHCs some incentive to work in rural environment.

Breakthroughs of this technology not only can save money, but also can provide more timely and accurate information.  Through advances in technology, doctors should be able to access complete patient records. By adoption of computerized systems for writing prescriptions, errors due to mistaken prescriptions or illegible handwriting will be reduced. There is no excuse for patients to be harmed and even die when we have the technology to save them.

eBlackBoard: Each Health Centre (kiosk) will impart some elementary education to rural children, youths and adults on a nominal fee. Here, we would lay a lot of importance on women and girl child in particular because they are the neglected and unprivileged class. “Educated mothers”, if we achieved will bring about a sea change in our society.

Medical Insurance: Benefit the rural & urban people to counter the heavy cost of Medical Treatment & Surgery. “Universal Health Insurance Scheme” promoted by Government of India is the best option available, as it is being offered on the lowest possible premium.

eCommerce:  Advanced farm technologies, agriculture machinery,  made available on discounted rates to the farmers.  

Global access point for local Handicrafts from virtual Showroom i:e Kiosk will increase in Artisans Income
The platform and process can lay the foundation for eGovernance services and hence increase the revenue to sustain the project in long run:

Identifying the citizens, Immunization certificates, Government services & certificates, Social security, Land records, Agriculture, Driving license, Complaints to government, Tele-Medicine, etc. …
