Haryana Launches SAMRIDDHI Portal for Maternal Health
The Haryana government has launched the SAMRIDDHI portal to transform maternal and neonatal healthcare delivery. Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini announced mandatory digital tracking for every expectant mother across public and private hospitals. Consequently, healthcare providers can now identify high-risk pregnancies much earlier and initiate timely clinical interventions.
Comprehensive Maternal Tracking Under the SAMRIDDHI Portal
Under this initiative, the state assigns a unique SAMRIDDHI ID to every pregnant woman. Furthermore, this digital identity securely links medical records across primary health centres, private clinics, and tertiary medical colleges. Therefore, healthcare teams can review complete obstetric histories even when patients change healthcare institutions. Additionally, the platform integrates directly with the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission standards to guarantee seamless data exchange. Ultimately, this comprehensive tracking ensures continuous care during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum phase.
Early Risk Stratification and Clinical Alert Systems
Timely identification of obstetric complications remains essential for reducing maternal mortality ratios. For this reason, the portal automatically alerts doctors, auxiliary nurse midwives, and health officers about pending examinations and impending deliveries. Moreover, healthcare workers will contact women with normal pregnancies every three months. In contrast, teams will monitor women with high-risk conditions much more frequently. As delivery dates approach, medical personnel will increase surveillance to manage emergency complications swiftly.
Integrated Command Center and Referral Networks
Haryana is establishing a dedicated Maternal and Child Health Call Centre alongside a state-level command centre. Trained nurses will provide direct clinical guidance and triage high-risk cases to designated emergency facilities. In addition, six-seat command units will operate in continuous shifts to oversee district referrals and alert resolutions. Dedicated nursing staff at the district level will also strengthen institutional coordination. Finally, linking neonatal birth registration to the mother's ID will maintain ongoing pediatric health surveillance after delivery.
