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.
The victim, Amrita, is the second daughter of Basayya Swami and Lakshmi. The girl, who was sleeping with her mother on Monday night, is said to have gone missing all of a sudden when Lakshmi woke up at around 3 am.

Naren ....any clarification?
Black magic is real .
Prophet muhammad pbuh taught us to stay far away from such elements which is evil...and it is a way to hell, if somebody involves in such activities...
And he has taught us how to ask refuge with ALLAH (God) the creator of all that exists, from the evils of this world.
The Quran is a guidance for Mankind and people are far away from it. People who fear such evil should once look into the QURAN with reflection and it will give you hope and strength to deal with evil which is sorrounding us.
May Allah Guide us to know the TRUTH and the reality of Evil and its games in this life.
