JANANI Digital Health Platform Launched to Boost Maternal Care

JANANI Digital Health Platform has been launched by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.  

The platform aims to strengthen Maternal Care in India by creating a unified digital system for tracking care across pregnancy, childbirth, and early childhood.

The initiative was unveiled during the National Summit on Innovation and Inclusivity, where officials described the JANANI Digital Health Platform as an upgraded version of the existing Reproductive and Child Health (RCH) portal designed to build longitudinal health records for women during their reproductive years.

According to the Ministry, the platform has already recorded over 1.34 crore beneficiary registrations, including more than 30 lakh pregnant women and 30 lakh digital Mother and Child Health cards, along with over 1 lakh biometric verifications completed.

The platform enables monitoring of antenatal care, delivery preparedness, childbirth, postnatal care, newborn care, home-based newborn and young child care, and family planning services to ensure continuity of care and timely interventions.

A key feature of the system is the QR-enabled digital Mother and Child Health (MCH) Cards, which improve portability and access to medical records. The platform also offers automated alerts for high-risk pregnancies, real-time dashboards for monitoring, and due-list generation to support targeted interventions in Maternal Care in India.

With these upgrades, officials said JANANI Digital Health Platform is expected to strengthen continuity of care, improve early risk detection, and enhance health outcomes for mothers and newborns across the country.

The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare emphasized that the system integrates maternal and child health services into a single digital ecosystem, allowing better coordination between healthcare providers and faster follow-up. By digitizing records and linking services from antenatal to early childhood stages, the JANANI Digital Health Platform aims to reduce delays in care delivery and support more efficient planning at the ground level, especially in improving Maternal Care in India across rural and urban areas.
