PICME

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

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.
