PSA Initiatives against COVID 19: COVID-19 Critical Medical Supplies Digital Platform

COVID-19 critical medical supplies advisory cell is enabled by a digital platform to facilitate States with managing supply and demand of critical medical equipment, and enable efficient decision making with regards to procurement of the same. The platform has been developed by Invest India (of DPIIT) in partnership with the O/o PSA and will be provided to the States through the MHA Empowered Committee.

The portal will help: 

• National Demand aggregation of critical medical equipment
• Provide access to Supplier information at one place – GeM, Invest India, Industry Association (FICCI, PhD Chamber of Commerce, CII, etc.) 
• Enable states to estimate numbers of critical medical equipment based on the number of patients and health care workers 
• Centralized query mechanism and online facilitation for States seeking advice on managing medical equipment demand/ supply/usage single source of information for people, and infrastructure resources prepared by NSDS geotagging of crises management infrastructure (health care centers, isolation centers, etc.) along with the district-wise patient load.
