"The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has already started work on integration of portals and would be sharing the first model designed soon," said Aradhana Patnaik, mission director, NHM, at the National Summit on Good and Replicable Practices and Innovation in Public Healthcare System.

This comes after work had been initiated on integrating the Health Management Information Systems (HMIS) portal, which monitors the NHM and other health programmes with other present portals of the Union health ministry.
