How JANANI Will Help Women and Children

Better Healthcare Coordination

The platform will improve coordination between:

• Doctors

• Hospitals

Digital records will help healthcare workers:

• Track medical history

Importance of Digital Health Records

Reducing Healthcare Gaps

In many cases, healthcare records become incomplete or unavailable.

This creates problems such as:

JANANI aims to create a centralized digital system.

This will allow healthcare services to continue smoothly across different hospitals and health centres.
