The health department spokesperson said that the software has already been uploaded in the computers installed in all community health centres (CHCs).
Health workers have been roped in for the registration of mothers and children through this software.
The spokesman said that officials and health workers had been asked to identify and register the pregnant women in their respective areas.
“Information collected by the health workers would be fed in the computers of health centres and information would be made available online. Officers of the department would regularly monitor the information regarding pregnant women and children and take effective steps to check the menace of female foeticide in the state,” he added.
