ACCESS|EMPOWER|TRANSFORM - #OurShakti Anaemia prevalence in Bihar is at an alarming 63.1% - 5% higher than the national average of 59%1. The Bihar government is doing all it can to stem this. Here is how the change has happened in Nalanda district, Bihar - through use of digital tools that have helped in making a difference, with the support of Digital Bharat Collaborative (a part of Piramal Foundation). In Nalanda district, the anaemia prevalence is 61.7%. A thrust on adoption of digital tools resulted in availability of quality data (which is key in any decision-making), thus giving a boost to data-driven governance at Health and Wellness Centres (HWC). The Nalanda district administration, equipped with data, was able to identify 4 High-Risk Pregnancy (HRP) cases, all of who were suspected severely anaemic pregnant women. These women were administered Iron Sucrose after referral to the District Hospital. A mechanism has now been established at HWC, Deepnagar for screening of all pregnant women for HRP. What is heartening is that the civil surgeon has also directed that all HWCs in Nalanda have such a mechanism in place which will go a long way in stemming maternal mortality rates. Prashant kumar will be happy to share more details of how people are always at the centre of all our digital solutions. #digitalbharatcollaborative Piramal Group Government of Bihar State Health Society, Bihar
