What is the Upasthiti Portal?

August 8, 2024

Chief Minister Hemant Soren has recently introduced the Upasthiti Portal under the Health, Medical Education, and Family Welfare Department. This initiative aims to accurately track the daily attendance of all health department staff, including doctors and paramedical workers. It shows the government’s dedication to improving health services in Jharkhand.

Purpose of the Upasthiti Portal

The Upasthiti Portal uses biometric attendance to verify that health department employees are present and working. This system is meant to ensure accountability and enhance the efficiency of healthcare services in the state.

Government’s Commitment to Health Services

During the launch, Chief Minister Soren emphasized the government’s focus on improving medical facilities. The government ensures that hospitals and health centers have enough resources, including proper maintenance, necessary repairs, diagnostic services, and medicine supplies.

Operation of District Hospitals

The Chief Minister announced plans for district hospitals to be open 24/7 and provide all types of surgeries with specialist doctors. This plan aims to reduce the need for patients to be referred to other hospitals, ensuring they receive comprehensive care within their district.

Improved Communication and Referral Systems

A new communication system will connect primary health sub-centers and health centers with district hospitals. This will make it easier to quickly transfer patients who need advanced care to the right facilities. The Chief Minister also stressed the importance of effectively using human resources in health facilities. Staffing levels will be evaluated and adjusted based on the needs of each hospital to maintain high-quality service. The government plans to implement strong monitoring systems to keep track of the attendance of doctors and medical staff in hospitals. They also aim to introduce hospital management practices similar to those in private hospitals, such as CCTV and Wi-Fi systems for better oversight.
