Chandigarh, June 27

Following the success of digitisation of the Universal Immunisation Programme (UIP) in two districts — Hoshiarpur and SBS Nagar — of the state, the Health Department is all set to roll out the U-WIN— a digital platform for UIP in all districts from August.

The pilot programme has remained a huge success with both districts having been able to achieve the desired targets by registering 92 per cent session sites on board and 90 per cent of registered newborns were provided birth doses of vaccines through this digital platform.

As of now, the vaccination programme is being conducted in manual form. With execution of the U-Win platform from August, all data pertaining to vaccination will be digitised on the lines of Co-Win. Digitisation benefits include improvement in record keeping and increase in vaccination coverage.

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).
