In a major step towards strengthening healthcare delivery, the Uttar Pradesh government has rolled out a month-long training program for hospital staff across all 75 districts. The initiative, launched under the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission and supervised by the state’s Chief Medical Officers, is aimed at ensuring every patient receives timely and hassle-free medical services.
Under the program, medical superintendents, lab technicians and computer operators posted at Community Health Centers (CHCs) will be trained. The sessions are being conducted by POCT Services with support from NGO PQSDF under CSR funding.
Officials said that once the training is completed, every patient visiting government hospitals will be registered through an Ayushman Bharat Health Account (ABHA). Their digital health record will be generated, and pathology reports will be shared directly on their mobile phones through WhatsApp or SMS.
“This facility has already reduced the burden on patients and their families by eliminating the need to queue up in hospitals for lab reports,” said the Chairman of POCT. “With proper training, we will now ensure that patients get the right test reports at the right time.”
The training drive, which began today, will continue for a month, with expert trainers deployed across different divisions of the state. The move is expected to bring significant relief to patients and further digitize healthcare services in Uttar Pradesh.
