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.

Either one of this leader is criminal? If we believe what Mr Yeddy said and he has proof then he should prove and put mr Ramanath Rai behind Bars. If he cannot then mr ramanat rai should put defemation case on him just like Mr arun jetly has put on Mr keriwal and one of his suppoter has put on Mr Rahul Gandhi. If Mr yeddy is telling lie then he is playing with sentiments of people in the state.
MR yeddyrappa unsound per son please join him special school...
Really sad, There can be only blame game in this country. youth is killed nobody bothered. All the groups can do strike, call for bandh. nobody is bothered to help the family or the Government in finding the culprit. Law will take its course of action. Blocking the group & creating problem for public will not help. Wait for the verdict. Forget everything & anything, there is no value for life in this world. Killing has become common & easy in this world. May Almighty protect all of us.
Keeping quiet with out taking action is like indirect support, for the sake of votes, this fellow and that tall chrstn actor pksrairaj, ar eboth irresponsible
