Azerbaijan issues over 162,000 health-e-cards

Asadzade said all maternity hospitals, maternity wards of hospitals and children's hospitals under the Ministry have shifted to the system.

A local office network was set up among the units of the department which facilitates the rapid exchange of official information.

Information is stored in a single database directly from medical institutions through the local network. Automation of medical patient accounting simplifies search for necessary information and reduces time of diagnosis.

The project also provides transferring information about citizens under 18 years from paper archives into electronic form.

Unlike teens, the newly born babies are provided with plastic cards.

Health-e-cards are produced by the Center of Public Health and Reforms of the Health Ministry through clinics and provided free to parents.

The project is implemented under the state program "E-Azerbaijan".
