Transforming Immunization: India's Digital Push to Universalise Immunisation

India's Universal Immunisation Programme (UIP) has been expanded rapidly in the last 10 years, with the aim of ensuring that no child is left unvaccinated. The programme uses a digital platform called U-WIN to track the vaccination status of all pregnant women and children across India. U-WIN offers several benefits to parents and guardians, including the ability to self-register and receive vaccination reminders. The platform also digitizes records, enabling beneficiaries to create Ayushman Bharat Health Account (ABHA) and Child ABHA IDs that help share health records with medical professionals and other service providers. This improves patient outcomes by allowing medical professionals to access a person's medical history at a glance.
