In Chhattisgarh, Mrs. Gomtee Sinha, an Auxiliary Nurse Midwife (ANM) at Shivaji Nagar, Durg, felt overwhelmed when the National Non-Communicable Disease (NCD) portal was introduced by the Government of India to address conditions like diabetes and hypertension. Mrs. Sinha was hesitant at first due to her limited familiarity with technology.
However, with constant training and encouragement from the Tata Trusts Healthcare team, under a Non-communicable disease project, Mrs. Sinha began to find her footing. Over time, she not only learned how to use the portal, but also discovered how it could enhance her daily work. Today, the NCD portal has become an invaluable tool in her practice, simplifying the tracking and management of patient records. This digital tool allows more efficient screenings process, streamlined follow-ups and timely interventions. Mrs. Sinha’s newfound confidence in using technology has greatly enriched the health services she provides, ultimately benefitting her patients.
