Direct Health Reporting System all set to go online by Aloysius Xavier Lopez

A Direct Health Reporting System under which all
the hospitals in the city are required to provide details of the
patients on a daily basis to the Chennai Corporation is all set to go
online.

The civic body is making provisions on its website for hosting the
system, which would help it track the public health on a daily basis and
take quick remedial measures.

All the hospitals and health posts of the Corporation, private
hospitals, clinics and laboratories will in the next few days be
directed to register with the civic body’s Health Department.

Each of the hospitals or laboratories registered with the civic body
would be given a unique login that would be accessed daily by the
reporting officer of the hospital concerned.
