A two-day state level training of trainers on nationwide scale-up of U-WIN organised by the Department of Health & Family Welfare (DoH&FW) began this morning at Hotel Vivor.
It was informed that Nagaland is the first in the country to conduct this training of trainers programme.
U-WIN platform, based on the CoWIN database which served as the “digital backbone” for India’s COVID-19 vaccination programme, was launched on January 11, 2023 in 65 pilot districts across India. The U-WIN platform will be the digital solution to facilitate tracking of every pregnant woman, new-born, child and adolescent for vaccination.
Dr Ritu Thurr, Mission Director, NHM in his keynote address said the system will allow planning of vaccination sessions, registration of beneficiaries, updating of vaccination status digitally on real-time basis from the last mile of service delivery by the vaccination, recording and reporting of all data for the UIP.
Nagaland, he informed has successfully implemented U-WIN in the two selected pilot districts of Dimapur and Peren where the entire vaccination system including records is getting digitized, easing the tracking of beneficiaries.
More than 2.63 lakh pregnant women, 6.5 lakh infant (0-1) and 2.58 lakh children (1-5 years) have been successfully registered the U-WIN platform during the pilot phase, he informed. Through this, Dr Thurr hoped that vaccination coverage will improve from 58% to 75% by facilitating appropriate intervals between doses, digital verification and tracking of beneficiaries, promoting consistency in vaccination schedules and communication with beneficiaries.
