With rapid advances in healthcare technology, digital tools are becoming increasingly essential in delivering high-quality maternal and neonatal care. From electronic medical records and digital prescribing to teleconsultation and remote monitoring, these innovations can streamline antenatal check-ups, improve care coordination between facilities, and support timely interventions throughout the pregnancy and postpartum journey. As maternal and child health needs become more complex and distributed across public and private care systems, digital solutions can help ensure access, continuity, and consistency in care—especially in under-resourced or hard-to-reach areas.
Recognizing the need for a focused strategy, Koita Foundation and FOGSI have partnered to co-develop a digital health strategy to accelerate digital adoption among OB-GYN doctors, hospitals, and nursing homes across India. This initiative aims to build a clear roadmap for integrating digital tools into routine clinical workflows, supporting members with training, capacity building, and practical guidance.
