Raj marks the first in India to launch PCTS mobile monitoring app for the ASHA worker

Rajasthan government has launched the India’s first Pregnancy, Child Tracking & Health Services Management System mobile monitoring app for over 53,000 Accredited Social Health Activist workers in the state to keep track of the health facilities provided to the pregnant and children daily. Accredited Social Health Activist workers Health Minister Parsadi Lal Meena said, “The ASHA workers will now be updated about the status of the health facilities provided to the women and the children. NHM Director Singh said, “The app was made according to the National Informatic Centre Rajasthan and its Demographic divisions which will make the ASHA workers’ job easy and more impactful.” He also added that the lack of a data collection system in the Sub Health Centres used to force the ASHA workers to go to any Primary Health Centre, Community Health Centre, or any other medical health centre in their locality to update the concerned data which takes a lot of time. This new app will also provide the schedule and contacts related to various services provided by the ASHA workers, pre-delivery examinations of the pregnant women, caring service in the post-delivery period, children’s growth chart, vaccination, NHVYC facility for the children, geo-mapping of the closest referral health organisations etc.
