JANANI Platform Launched for Maternal & Child Healthcare:
The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has launched the JANANI (Journey of Antenatal, Natal and Neonatal Integrated Care) platform to improve maternal and child healthcare services through digital integration and monitoring.
- JANANI is a service-oriented digital platform designed to maintain longitudinal health records of women during their reproductive age. It has been developed as an upgraded version of the existing RCH portal.
- It tracks the continuum of care, including antenatal care, delivery, postnatal care, newborn care, and family planning, ensuring seamless monitoring, timely interventions and continuity of care.
- JANANI introduces QR-enabled digital Mother and Child Health cards, automated alerts for high-risk pregnancies, real-time dashboards for supervisory review and due-list generation.
- It enables beneficiary registration through unique identifiers such as ABHA, Aadhaar, through OTP and biometric authentication, and mobile number, ensuring pan-India portability and seamless tracking of beneficiaries.
- It is designed to integrate with U-WIN and POSHAN, while also supporting self-registration through web and mobile platforms, improving accessibility, especially for migratory populations.
- The platform has registered 1.34 crore beneficiaries, including over 30 lakh pregnant women, generated 30 lakh MCH cards, and completed over 1 lakh biometric verifications.
- JANANI strengthens continuity of care and real-time monitoring, enhances service delivery and accountability, and contributes to improved maternal and child health outcomes through digital health governance.
