The app, part of the Digital Sindh programme, is expected to cover 30 districts and 769 health facilities, ensuring digital registration of 85 percent of births at public and private hospitals.
Speaking at the inauguration, CM Shah said the provincial government is committed to digitalising governance processes to improve transparency, efficiency, and public convenience. He emphasised that birth registration immediately after childbirth would soon become mandatory, adding that school planning for every child will be based on this data in the next five years.

The CM noted that all proceedings of the Sindh Cabinet have already been fully digitalised. He said low registration coverage in the past was largely due to the inability of low-income families to pay National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) fees. “To remove this barrier, the provincial government will cover all NADRA fees for birth and death registrations,” he added.

This integration will support initiatives like the Electronic Immunisation Registry and targeted interventions for diseases such as thalassemia.
