Bihar has emerged as the national frontrunner in digital transformation in healthcare, achieving the Number one rank in the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission implementation. With a remarkable 92 per cent online OPD registration rate at government health facilities and the highest number of QR code scans for patient services, the state is setting new benchmarks for accessible and efficient public health delivery. Bihar’s state-of-the-art Command and Control Centre, situated in the capital city Patna, is playing a crucial role in achieving this remarkable transformation.

The Command Centre, a technological nerve centre, monitors real-time feeds from all district hospitals and health facilities across Bihar. It ensures prompt alerts, compliance monitoring, and smooth operations at all levels. This setup is further backed by District Command Centres and Data Analytics Units, allowing proactive identification and management of potential health emergencies by tracking disease trends and patient data in real time.

Talking to Akashvani News, Rajesh Kumar, Administrative Officer of the State Health Committee, said that the Centre is working on a coordination-convergence model. He said that currently, the centre is monitoring all district hospitals and the Special Newborn Care Unit in the state. Mr. Kumar stated that 25 thousand hospitals will be connected to this control and command centre in the future.
