SUGGESTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

• Community based ICT systems for disease surveillance and vital statistics to be encouraged by the government eg, unique ID at birth, e-health cards etc.

• Integrated (holistic) approach to health management and development with ICTs and appropriate technologies in government health systems at different levels should be encouraged

• The power of ICTs should be harnessed to enhance grass roots communication tools for achieving the MDG goals

• Involvement of ICT in quality data collection, monitoring and evaluation mechanism should be developed to review implementation and progress

Contd….

• Develop a system with quality checks and proper control by an expert committee before transmitting messages to people.

• Strong advocacy to ensure that MDG objectives are clearly reflected in the policy initiatives undertaken by the central and state governments and the NGOs (eg: IEC strategies)

• Appropriate, cost-effective and sustainable infrastructure for ICT should be developed at all level

• Develop software which is easily understood, accessible and maintainable at grassroots level

Contd….

• Training on IT for health service providers should be done for efficiency and effectiveness of the service (capacity building)

• Make an ICT platform for debating of health issues so that information exchange can be further promoted

• Experience sharing on health issues related to MDGs

• Establish strong multi stake holder partnerships which include community sensitization
