Akal is proud to be associated with Covid 19 Surveillance Portal by the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare.

AKAL is proud to be associated with the development of Covid 19 Surveillance Portal by the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare. Coming under The Center of Health Informatics, the Surveillance Portal is launched to update Indian citizens about the ongoing cases of people who have been exposed to the Novel Coronavirus. The dashboard displays the numbers of Active Cases, Cured/ Discharged, Deaths, and Migrated in India. With a team of 10 technical experts from Akal Info, working 24*7 for almost 5 months now, the dashboard is updated daily to give citizens the right numbers on Covid-19.

Unconfirmed and hoax news circulating all over social media, especially regarding the infamous COVID-19, has agonized many citizens all across the country as well as the globe. With numbers and COVID-related issues being constantly manipulated by internet trolls, many people, without confirming the news, are rendered agitated and panic-stricken. Keeping this issue in mind, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, in association with AKAL, has taken an initiative to provide the correct number of coronavirus-infected people in India.

Our team of experts at AKAL maintains the data of all facilities across India through all states and districts. The facilities include numbers of beds, isolation wards, ventilators, oxygen units, to name a few, that are currently available in and around India. They also actively follow the log of Covid-19 patients and the number of people who have been tested for COVID-19 through the Indian Council of Medical Research’s portal.

The dashboard is meticulously designed to not only to provide the numbers of COVID-19 infected people but it also showcases city-wise and district-wise hotspots such as red, green, or amber zones.

The dashboard also has Resources and State Data.

Under Resources, one can find the updated guidelines of travel, hospitals, training as well as awareness materials, and even inspirational series on healthcare service personnel, among others. The state data shows the number of Active, Cured/ Discharged/ Migrated, Deaths, and Total confirmed cases of each state in India.

There is no source more reliable than the government. So, the next time you get a random message or image of COVID-19 related subjects on any of your social media accounts, do confirm whether it’s reliable or not by visiting https://www.mohfw.gov.in/.

Union Minister launched Hospital Ranking Dashboard developed by Akal

1 Crore Treatments Provided Under Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana

On 21 May 2020, the honorable Union Minister of Health and Family Welfare, Dr. Harsh Vardhan, launched a Hospital Ranking Dashboard on Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana’s website. Developed by AKAL, the dashboard is a significant step to rank empanelled hospitals based on beneficiaries’ feedback. The ranking will help NHA to take evidence-based decision making for boosting the quality measures and indicators of healthcare delivery across all empanelled facilities to improve the beneficiaries’ experience. Hindi version of the Ayushman Bharat PMJAY website was also launched. The website will enable the government to effectively connect with the masses and to empower them with access to the right information through a user-friendly medium.

The launch was announced during the inauguration of the first edition of Arogya Dhara, a series of webinars created as an open platform for discussion on topical issues of public health. Titled the “Ayushman Bharat: 1 crore treatments and beyond”, the webinar was open for all members of the general public as it was webcast via all official social media pages of National Health Authority. Notable participants in this informative webinar included Dr. Indu Bhushan, the CEO of National Health Authority, Dr. Vinod Paul, Member (Health), and Shri Ashwini Kumar Choubey, the Minister of State.  Dr. Indu Bhushan made a presentation on the performance of AB-PMJAY and conferred on the future ahead.

The aim of PMJAY is to ensure financial risk protection to more than 10 crores to the poorest, most vulnerable families in the country, and take a step forward towards the success of Universal Health Coverage in India. The Minister expressed his gratitude and sent best wishes to all the States who have ensured the scheme delivers on its promise especially in the unprecedented times of COVID-19. “Government of India is making persistent efforts to expand testing and make treatment of COVID-19 available for free to all 53 crore beneficiaries of Ayushman Bharat PMJAY, further strengthening Government of India’s resolve, scope, and capability to move towards universal health coverage. Concerted efforts by every health worker and all empanelled hospitals have helped us achieve the 1 crore mark,” he said.

Sh. Indu Bhushan stated that NHA has utilized this period to leverage its IT systems, expertise and network of private sector stakeholders to support the Government of India’s preparedness and response in the form of managing the national COVID-19 helpline 1075 to conducting thousands of outbound calls to COVID positive patients and their families.

The webinar was a huge success and AKAL could not be happier for being a part of bringing change to India.

Akal Information Systems Ltd Launches www.Contract-Jobs.com

A leading Global Staffing & IT Services company rises up to the occasion to support Indian jobseekers in this trying time of pandemic triggered recession.

New Delhi, June 24, 2020: After the success of its proprietary HR technology, www.japan-recruiter.com – a platform that bridges talent gaps between Japan and India – AKAL Information Systems Ltd, now launches the same HR technology for Indian jobseekers to connect and explore opportunities with Indian employers in hopes of aiding those who are affected by the economic recession triggered by the outspread of COVID-19.

Launched under the URL www.contract-jobs.com, the sophisticated HR technology allows recruiters, employment contractors and employers to hire talent on flexible period contracts in India. One great advantage of this brilliant HR tech is that it enables recruiters and employers to hire candidates through employment contractors, which relieves talent scouts from the burdens of handling payrolls, provident fund, employee state insurance, gratuity, income tax and other statutory compliances of selected candidates.

What’s in it for the Employer?

When an employer faces the peak cycles in his business and wants extra employees to cover the burden, a contract basis job is what he generally opts for. This way he gets the necessary employment elasticity, as he will be hiring only as per the requirement of workload and manpower. The advantage of hiring talent through www.contract-jobs.com is that the employer does not have to go through the hassle of handling any statutory compliance for the employee. The Employment Contractor will take care of everything happily and flawlessly.

What’s in it for the Employee?

An employee who has taken a contract job of flexible period will be working at the client’s office but will be paid by the employment contractor. After the completion of the contract, the employee gets to decide on what he wants to do for the remaining period of the year. Be it finding a new job, travelling, spending quality time with the family, or taking up a new hobby, he gets to live the life he has always dreamt for himself. What is amazing about contractual jobs is that employees get the freedom to work according to their circumstances with almost all the benefits that permanent jobs offer.

The distinctiveness of www.contract-jobs.com is that it provides jobs, based on users’ own terms. In layman’s terms, jobseekers get to opt for the job which not only matches their skill sets but also meets the period that syncs with their life commitments. Moreover, it is the ideal solution for students seeking internships, as well as housewives and senior citizens who are well qualified and want to work but are looking for short term or temporary employment only.

As you can see, it is a win-win for both parties – the employer hires an employee only for the duration he requires and the employee gets to work only for the period he chooses to.

This HR technology has access to recruiters, contractors and employers, collaborating to meet jobseekers’ demands. If there is the best time to go for a contractual job, this is it and this innovative platform is the key.

The National Programme for Health Care for the Elderly (NPHCE) is a modest attempt by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare to address the Health Care issue of elderly by way of introducing a comprehensive health care set up completely dedicated and tuned to the needs of the elderly.

Akal has developed and designed the NPHCE Application which gives the overall view of State, District Hospitals, Regional Geriatrics Centre and National Centre for Aging. Akal Infosys has also simplified the implementation of SNOMED CT and Security Standards in NPHCE Application. Before the implementation of SNOMED CT, the beneficiary details were neither track able nor shareable, due to the reason of uniqueness.

NPHCE Application and the implementation of SNOMED CT and Security Standards are definitely going to play a major role in the Health Care of Elderly people in the country.
