The Central Government has now resolved to build a database of tribal health profiles from around the country in order to offer them with comprehensive medical care and eliminate sickle cell anaemia by 2047. This would be the first time that a government database on the health profiles of tribal people living in the jungles and mountainous terrain across multiple states, including the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, would be produced.
“The Ministry of Tribal Affairs has begun work on creating a mega database of over 7 crore tribal people living in various remote forest areas across the country in order to provide them with hassle-free holistic health care facilities,” Union tribal affairs minister Arjun Munda told reporters on Tuesday.
The tribal affairs minister further said that the database will have the health profiles of over 7 crore tribal people, which would be linked to all major hospitals across the country and can be accessed online during their treatments from anywhere in India.
“The process of preparing health profiles of the tribal people has already been set into motion. This database will be linked with almost all prominent hospitals in the country. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will soon make an announcement about the database soon,” the minister said.
