Chandigarh, July 20

The UT has been selected for the implementation of the National Digital Health Mission (NDHM).

The NDHM will provide a comprehensive health eco-system that will enable creation of a strong public digital infrastructure and digitally empower individuals, doctors and health facilities.

A total of four systems will be developed in the first phase which will be implemented in Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Chandigarh, Dadra and Nagar Haveli, Daman and Diu, Lakshadweep and Puducherry.

One of the first systems to be built will be ‘Swasthya Account’, which is a digital health identifier for all individuals to create their identity in the national healthcare system for ease of access to their personal health information.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
