PNS | Bhubaneswar

In a bid to percolate various decisions of the Health and Family Welfare Department at the highest level to the grassroots, and to get feedback from the grassroots, the department has commissioned close users group (CUG) through post-paid BSNL mobiles. CUG is a facility wherein a group of subscribers within an organisation can talk to each other, free of cost. The users are tied in a pre-specified loop where by users can send or receive messages at one turn. Around 18,315 users are connected under this programme.

The CUG plans for an effective supervision and implementation of various programmes aimed at enhancing healthcare system in the State. This would be implemented by the NRHM with monthly expenditure of Rs 52.57 lakh.

The provision would facilitate prompt and effective communication among field functionaries and programme officers of Health Department and strengthen management of information system, professional growth, important communication and monitoring tool for tracking various important documents. Starting from the field functionaries like ANM (assistant nursing maid) to Commissioner-cum-Secretary is now connected under one net work.

Inaugurating the launching of the programme on Thursday, Minister Health & Family Welfare Prasanna Acharya talked to an ANM Nalini Jena of Chitrokonda of Malkangiri district and ANM Tulashi Majhi of Chalakamba of Rayagada district. CGM BSNL AN Ray and Commi-ssioner-cum-Secretary Anu Garg were present. “The stocks at the sub-centre level can be easily known,” said Garg.

At Block level the programme Officers like the Medical Officer I/C, BEE, BPO and BADA, at district level CDMO, additional CDMO, ADMOs, DIO, DPM, DAM, DHIO, work consultant, hospital manager, ASHA Coordi-nator, PA, MEIO, DTO, Nucleus Leprosy Officer and similarly at State level Secretary, Mission Director, DHS, DFW, DPH, all addl/joint/dy directors, VS and consultants of SPUM are connected under this network.
