Kerala Health is comprised of various departments and multiple organizations. There are more than five thousand health service outlets from Jankiya Arogya Kendram,and AYUSH dispensaries at the grass roots to hundreds of Hospitals with dedicated and committed field functionaries, doctors and officers at field, district and State level.

These Departments have taken efforts to implement various schemes and programs and have strived to achieve the best health outcomes. In order to facilitate the information related to the works done by them, it was felt that there should be one umbrella platform- the ‘Kerala Health’ portal -so that people from anywhere in the world can access the information.

The Kerala Health Portal is designed to make it an interactive page. The portal provides a unified and intuitive General Search system designed to help users quickly locate information across all sections. Every major landing page is equipped with common filters and advanced search options, enabling seamless navigation through content related to Health & Family Welfare (HFW) and AYUSH. Users can refine their search by department, organisation, and other key parameters, to get accurate information and access to relevant resources.

The portal covers various themes such as SDG goals, emergency information,details of programs implementation and services offered to citizens. There are interactive sections such as Learning Management System, Solution Exchange,Survey, etc. These sections will facilitate knowledge sharing as well as information dissemination.The portal also strives to provide all the data regarding the activities taken by the departments in an easy-to-understand format which will be made available in the portal under the “Knowledge Hub” and “Data Bank” sections. We are aware of the fact that there is an interest to see the data of various activities and programs. There was a challenge regarding how to show the data in a creative way. The team led by State demographer and technical team of C – Dit have done justice to our demanding ask of needing to represent the data in a creative way. We are confident that over a period of time the portal will be accessed by health professionals, institutions and various other stakeholders working in the Health and Social development sector from all over the world. The portal will open up new opportunity to build a platform for collaboration.

It gives me immense satisfaction to state that we have made a start in developing the Kerala.HEALTH portal. All the Heads of the departments and Organizations and their respective nodal officers have been wholeheartedly supporting to develop the Kerala Health portal. I am confident that, as we go forward, it will further get developed by adding many digital technology led interventions.

We solicit suggestions from all to make it more user friendly and informative.
