The electronic vaccine Intelligence network (eVIN) is being implemented under which program?
A. National Health Mission
B. Aajeevika
C. Pradhan Mantri Swasthya suraksha Yojana
D. Indra Dhanush
Solution
Electronic Vaccine Intelligence Network is an Indian-developed technological solution that uses a smartphone application to digitise vaccine supplies and monitor the temperature of the cold chain. The unique eVIN is currently being deployed in twelve Indian states.Its goal is to assist the Indian government's Universal Immunization Program by providing real-time data on vaccine stocks and movements, as well as storage temperatures, at all cold chain nodes in these states. The United Nations Development Programme is in charge of technological innovation (UNDP). Its goal is to increase India's evidence base in order to improve vaccine distribution, procurement, and planning for new antigens.
Complete explanation:
Option A: The National Health Mission is implementing an electronic vaccination Intelligence network. It provides an integrated solution to address widespread vaccine coverage inequities by assisting state governments in overcoming infrastructure, monitoring and management information systems, and human resource constraints, which frequently result in vaccine overstocking and stock-outs in storage facilities.
So, option A is correct.
Option B: The Ministry of Rural Development launched the National Rural Livelihoods Mission (NRLM) - Aajeevika (MoRD). The goal of the NRLM is to eliminate rural poverty and provide rural poor people with long-term livelihood prospects. NRLM aims to develop long-term community-based institutions that will make it easier for the rural poor to access financial, economic, and other services.
So, option B is incorrect.
Option C: The Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha Yojana (PMSSY) was launched in 2003 with the goal of addressing regional disparities in the availability of affordable/reliable tertiary healthcare services as well as improving medical education facilities in the country.
So, option C is incorrect.
Option D: The Government of India's Mission Indradhanush is a health-care initiative. The initiative aims to achieve and maintain 90% complete immunisation coverage in India by the year 2020.
So, option D is incorrect.
Therefore, Option A is the correct answer.
Note:
The National Rural Health Mission and the newly announced National Urban Health Mission are both part of the National Health Mission. Health System Strengthening in Rural and Urban Areas, Reproductive-Maternal-Neonatal-Child and Adolescent Health, and Communicable and Non-Communicable Diseases are the key programme components. It envisions universal access to equitable, accessible, and high-quality health care that is accountable and sensitive to people's needs. In March 2018, it was extended again, this time until March 2020. It is led by a Mission Director and overseen by the Government of India-appointed National Level Monitors.
