PICME

Government Schemes / /

PICME or Pregnancy and Infant Cohort Monitoring and Evaluation (PICME) is a system deployed by the Tamilnadu government to track all pregnant women. Pregnant women can register on https://picme.tn.gov.in/ right from the inception of pregnancy until obtaining a birth certificate for the newborn. Persons registered under PICME are provided with a 12 digit RCH ID, which is being used to track all aspects of the pregnancy by the Public Health Department.  Pregnant women can register for the Tamil Nadu PICME Login on the official website from the moment a pregnancy is first detected till a birth certificate for the unborn child is obtained. People who register for PICME are given a 12-digit RCH ID number. The Public Health Agency uses the RCH ID that was acquired during TN PICME Registration to keep track of every aspect of the pregnancy. PICME 2.0 PICME, which was created in 2008 by the National Informatics Centre for the Department of Public Health and Preventive Medicine, has been modified and is now known as PICME 2.0.  PICME records 11 lakhs of Moms annually. All Government Health institutions have been granted user IDs and passwords, and 8713 VHNs in rural areas and 1846 UHNs in urban areas have been given institutional delivery entry logins so they can enter their delivery data. PICME Registration Expectant mothers can get PICME registration through the nearest government health care centers, hospitals, and primary health care centers. Expectant mothers can also contact the local nurses or Aanganwadi center workers for collecting the 12 digit registration code. Finally, the application is also available at all village level CSC (Common Service Centers). Once registered on the system, the expectant mothers can also avail benefits under the RCH scheme. During the ante-natal stage, the local nurses will monitor the mothers registered on PICME. The nurse can also help you upload the document details on the official (Pregnant and Infant Cohort Monitoring and Evaluation) software. Registration Objectives The Tamil Nadu government created this website in an effort to make things easier for expectant mothers. Women who are engaged in this programme will have their care supervised by neighbourhood nurses throughout their pregnancy. Both the mother and the child will benefit from this, which will also improve their general health. This is such a wonderful initiative by the TN government to take care of maternal health, female empowerment and clean delivery practices Birth Certificates Obtaining a birth certificate for any child born from a mother having PICME registration is simple. After birth, the expectant mother can provide the RCH ID to obtain a birth certificate for the newborn quickly. Tamilnadu PICME Login Benefits The online pregnancy registration tool would help the state track pregnant women’s needs and difficulties once a woman had enrolled for the programme. The programme links these women to neighbourhood medical facilities like clinics and hospitals. Under this programme, local nurses will check on pregnant mothers to guarantee the health and safety of both the mother and the child. Hence, the equipment guarantees total care for both mother and kid. The RCH ID is obtained by PICME ladies. An RCH ID is required for TN birth certificates. Birth certificates are therefore made simpler by the registration. The pregnant woman will benefit financially and have easier access to care thanks to PICME registration. Tennessee’s IMR and MMR are recorded on the website. A pregnant woman may join the plan after giving birth. Second-time mothers might go through it again. Dr. Muthulakshmi Reddy Maternity Benefit Scheme In addition to providing access to good healthcare during pregnancy, expectant mothers registered under PICME having financial requirements can avail benefits under the Dr. Muthulakshmi Reddy Maternity Benefit Scheme. Under the scheme, the Tamilnadu government provides financial assistance up to Rs. 12,000 for expectant mothers as under: Every pregnant woman will receive the first installment of Rs. 4000. This avails all required health services during the 7th month of pregnancy. After the delivery, the mother will receive the second installment of Rs. 4000. This is available for the mothers who deliver in Government or Local Body Institutions. The third installment of Rs.4000 will be given to the mother on completion of the third dose of DPT, Hepatitis, and Polio vaccine for the child. PICME registration is mandatory for obtaining the above benefits and financial assistance under the Dr. Muthulakshmi Reddy Maternity Benefit Scheme. PICME Registration Eligibility There are only 2 points to keep in mind: The lady applying should be pregnant They should be residents of Tamil Nadu Why PICME 2.0? The programme has been entirely digitised, which means that all information pertaining to pregnancy and child care is kept on an electronic database. This makes it simple to monitor a pregnant woman’s and a newborn’s health. Online registration is now available to expectant mothers via the PICME website or mobile application. This lessens the requirement for in-person visits to healthcare facilities and contributes to maintaining social distancing. The system offers dashboard-based real-time monitoring of expectant mothers and babies. This aids in locating high-risk situations and delivering prompt interventions. Improvements to the PICME mobile app have many features including a chatbot for all questions, e-books on pregnancy and so on.
