e-SEHAT App
Recently Chief Minister Omar Abdullah launched the e-SEHAT App, a comprehensive, one-stop digital solution designed to cater to the healthcare needs of the people of Jammu & Kashmir, including citizens, doctors and medical professionals.
He congratulated the team for developing such an elaborate and wide-ranging application that addresses the health needs of J&K’s citizens.
He suggested making the app more user-friendly and incorporating additional features, including the integration of the appointment system of empanelled private health institutions.
He directed the concerned authorities to conduct hands-on training through scheduled workshops for the staff to familiarize them with the application. “Once the staff is trained, awareness campaigns can be launched to educate the public about the app and its benefits,” he said.
To ensure effective implementation and monitoring, he called for regular reviews — weekly by the Secretary, Health & Medical Education; monthly by the Chief Secretary; and quarterly by the Minister In-charge — to assess the app’s performance and progress.
The launch event was attended by Minister for Health & Medical Education Sakeena Itoo, Chief Secretary Atal Dulloo, Additional Chief Secretary to CM Dheeraj Gupta, Secretary Health & Medical Education Syed Abid Rashid, DG BISAG-N, Principals of various Government Medical Colleges, Medical Superintendents, HoDs and other concerned officials.
Earlier, Secretary H&ME Syed Abid Rashid gave a detailed presentation outlining the objectives, purpose, and target users of the SEHAT App.
