The Union Home and Cooperation Minister recently launched the PM Family Care Tracker (PM-FCT) as a pilot project in Gujarat.
About PM Family Care Tracker (PM-FCT)
- It is a digital platform aimed at strengthening maternal and child health, nutrition, and family welfare.
- The digital platform would ensure that pregnant women, mothers, and children receive all eligible government benefits through continuous monitoring and timely intervention.
- It has been designed to digitally monitor every stage of a child’s development, from pregnancy through 18 years of age, while helping eligible families receive welfare benefits on time.
- The PM-FCT provides end-to-end monitoring of key health milestones, including antenatal and postnatal care, immunisation, nutrition, growth monitoring, school enrolment and attendance, and adolescent health services.
- The platform also features digital Health Passports for individuals and families, dashboards to facilitate delivery of government welfare schemes, and automated alerts for missed vaccinations and other essential health services.
- For Example:
- Alerts will be generated automatically if a child misses vaccination or drops out of school.
- Notifications will reach local officials, legislators and Members of Parliament, enabling volunteers and government authorities to intervene promptly and ensure that every child receives essential services.
- It is expected to enable timely interventions, reduce maternal and infant mortality, address malnutrition, and minimise gaps in service delivery.
- PM-FCT is designed as a family-centric digital platform, rather than maintaining separate records for different schemes, allowing authorities to track the health and welfare status of every family member through a single interface.
- The initiative aims to improve convergence across multiple government departments by integrating data from birth and death registration systems, and health, nutrition and education databases.
- The pilot project will initially be implemented in Gandhinagar and, if successful, is proposed to be expanded across Gujarat and later replicated in other states.
