NIPI

To mitigate high prevalence of anaemia across various age groups, National Iron Pus Initiative Program (NIPI) has been launched in Sabarkantha District (Gujarat). Under NIPI preventive, screening, curative and IEC strategies have been adopted to achieve 100% coverage and compliance among various age group. In preventive strategies, weekly Iron-Folic supplementation is done in 6 months to 59 months children, 1st to 5th standards students, and 6th to 12th standards students, Women in reproductive Age (WRA), Antenatal-Postnatal and Non-school going adolescent girls.
Reports from various group is collected manually and report is compiled at various level. But this report is not submitted regularly due to complexity of reporting system. Also authenticity and validity of this report is not ensured.
So it was decided to enter data at point of service provision by respective units at the end of month. And entered data can be compiled and report can be generated automatically for various level users for review and monitoring. This may also ensure real time monitoring of coverage, compliance and stock out at each unit level. Also it may reduce utilization of resources in terms of human and stationery at various level.
