U-Win to be launched for permanent digital record of vaccination, medicines

Saturday, 07 September 2024 | Pioneer News Service | New Delhi

Online vaccine management portal U-Win will be launched later this month to maintain a permanent digital record of vaccination and medicines of more than three crore pregnant women and almost 2.7 crore children born annually, Union Health Secretary Apurva Chandra said on Friday.

The U-Win platform, a replication of the COVID-19 vaccine management system Co-WIN, is being run in a pilot mode in all States and Union territories except for West Bengal and captures every vaccination event of all pregnant women and children under the Universal Immunization Programme (UIP).

Speaking at the national conference on “Universal Access to Healthcare: Digital Solutions” held here, Chandra said that one of the goals of the national digital mission is to increase the reach of healthcare services and reduce the disparity between rural and urban areas.

The health secretary highlighted the success of the Co-WIN and Aarogya Setu apps in helping to deliver more than 220 crore vaccinations across the country.

He stated that the Union government wants to replicate the same model through its flagship scheme Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission.

Chandra also highlighted that there are already many portals operating across different segments like telemedicine, TeleManas and eRaktKosh, and the effort is to combine them in a single portal.  He also informed about the upcoming launch of the U-Win portal later this month which will keep a permanent digital record of vaccination and medicines of more than three crore pregnant women and mothers and almost 2.7 crore children born annually.  Dr V K Paul, Member (Health), NITI Aayog, who inaugurated the conference, highlighted that transformative changes are taking place across the health sector in India.
