Begusarai tops Bihar's digital health rollout with notable results

Begusarai district in Bihar has been identified as the leading performer in the state’s digital health programme, according to data released by the health department. The government‑driven initiative, which digitises patient records, enables tele‑consultations and streamlines drug inventory, is seeing the highest uptake in Begusarai compared with other districts. Officials credit the district's strong local administration, extensive training of health‑care workers and reliable internet connectivity at primary health centres for the progress. The success story is now being studied for possible replication across the state as Bihar seeks to improve service delivery and cut down paperwork. While exact figures were not disclosed, the department said Begusarai’s performance will feature prominently in upcoming state health reviews.
