Haryana: Patients to get relief from long queues at civil hospitals with new app

CHANDIGARH: Haryana health minister Anil Vij on Tuesday formally launched the 'Swasth Haryana' mobile app and claimed that it will relieve people of the state from long queues at hospitals.
Through this app, patients can get themselves registered at any civil hospital in the state. Swasth Haryana mobile app is also available on Google Play Store.
Vij said that the government is consistently working to contain the spread of Covid-19 and to augment it further, the Haryana State Health Systems Resource Centre (HSHRC) has developed Swasth Haryana mobile app.
Vij elaborated that now the patients can get themselves registered in advance before going to the hospital through this app while sitting at home and thus the rush of people at the state hospitals can be managed in a systematic manner. He stated that with this app, now the patient can directly go to the specialist doctor and no longer does he need to stand in long queues.
He further added that with this app, patients will get access to their laboratory reports on their phones and do not have to go to the hospital to collect their reports. Moreover, the medical history of the patient will be stored in this app and can be accessed anytime.
The health minister said that there are many other facilities in this mobile app such as information of nearest blood bank (blood bank has been integrated with e-Raktkosh and information about availability of blood units can also be accessed here).
Besides this, information pertaining to mother-child care and vaccination will also be available.
He said that people will be able to get themselves registered at home itself and avail all the facilities available in all the civil hospitals and three medical colleges of the state.
