Bengaluru, May 30: The Karnataka government will soon launch a project to maintain the health database of all its citizens, said Medical Education Minister Dr K Sudhakar on Friday.
A first of its kind initiative, the "State Health Register" will be a robust and standardised health repository of all the citizens, as per an official release.
Sudhakar said that the project will be implemented first in Chikkaballapur district on an experimental basis. "Enhanced focus on healthcare has become imperative and our government is committed to providing world-class healthcare to all citizens," he added.
While speaking to media, the minister said that COVID-19 experience has demonstrated the necessity of having robust, real-time public health data and, therefore, there is a need to maintain a repository of health data of each and every citizen.
He said that the government will be undertaking a survey of all 6.5 crore people in the state, by using a team of Primary Health Centre officials, revenue officials, education department staff and ASHA karyakartas.
"They will visit each household and collect health data of all the members of the family. This will not only help the government to provide better healthcare but will also help efficient resource allocation, management and better implementation of various citizen-centric schemes in the state," Sudhakar stated.
"Public-Private Partnership -- It's our vision to provide world-class healthcare to all citizens in the state and we need accurate data to make our vision a reality. The health register is a futuristic project which is taken up in the interest of the people. The project will include 50 per cent partnership of private hospitals. The data collected will help us to prioritise healthcare based on geography, demography and other targetted measures," read the release.
Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa has assured all support for the project and a detailed discussion will be undertaken in the upcoming cabinet meeting, said Dr Sudhakar.
The minister also assured that he is committed to ensuring that all citizens of the state have access to world-class healthcare.

this is the man who defeated by zakir naik on idol worshipping debeat..
he finally agree that idol worshing is not mentioned in any hindu book but they need some thing in front of them to concentrate GOD...what a bullshit answer.
my dear hindu brothers & sister, they hide many things from you for long time regarding teaching of veda or any hindu scripture...they want you to bow down to the stone they made and make money.
this business nowdays...
GOD clearly said in all book i dont have image or you cannot even image how i look..
am alone i dont have any partner, manager or son..worship alone me , ask alone me but sure i will answer for your rememberence...
we need to understand the concept of GOD, sanathana darma does not means worshipp all stone or items which is found on earth..early people are worshipping GOD alone some went against it and made idol for there own benefit...
so think about it, GOD is alone and idol worshipping is major sin which GOD doesnt like at all.
