The National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) was launched by the Government of India
in April 2005, with a view to bringing about dramatic improvement in the health
system and the health status of the people, especially those who live in the rural
areas of the country. The Mission seeks to provide universal access to equitable,
affordable and quality health care which is accountable and at the same time responsive
to the needs of the people. The NRHM also aims to achieve the goals set out under
the National Health Policy and the Millennium Development Goals during the Mission
period.
Accurate, relevant and up-to-date
information is essential for the health service providers at all levels so that
they can initiate action on the gaps in the system based on evidence and information.
Recognising the need for an information base, one of the core strategies of the
“Strengthening capacities for data collection, assessment and review for evidence
based planning, monitoring and supervision”. As a step in this direction,
the Ministry is establishing a dedicated Health Management Information System (HMIS)
portal for all Public Health related information. The HMIS portal captures
data to be collected as per the revised HMIS formats on a web-based system
at the District level so that the primary data can be easily aggregated and the information/reports
flow quickly to the State HQ and the Ministry. The system also enables information
to be entered for each facility so that MIS reporting can be of a better quality.
