Enabling easy access to pregnancy-related health info for government hospital patients

The Hindu  

Crowds pour into two of the major government maternity hospitals in Chennai, and most often, ensuring that pregnancy-related health information reaches the women and their families is tough. To enable easy access to information and create more awareness among pregnant women and their families, a post graduate medical student has developed a QR code that will connect to a website containing all pregnancy-related information. A. Vidhya, who has completed Diploma in Obstetrics and Gynaecology and is currently in her final year of post graduation in Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Madras Medical College, developed the QR code, which when scanned will connect to www.iogkgh.org.in, a common website for the two hospitals — Institute of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Egmore and Government Kasturba Gandhi Hospital for Women and Children, Triplicane. Empowering women with knowledge on self-care and child protection is essential, and hence, the website was launched to provide critical information on pregnancy care, a press release from RGGGH, said.
