The Centre has launched eSushrut@Clinic, a lightweight, cloud-based Hospital Management Information System (HMIS) designed to help small clinics and outpatient facilities digitise and automate their day-to-day operations. Union Health Minister Jagat Prakash Nadda unveiled the platform, developed by the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) to accelerate digital healthcare adoption under the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM).
The new platform aims to replace manual record-keeping with a simple and affordable digital solution for clinics that often find conventional hospital management systems expensive and complex. It automates key functions such as patient registration, billing, clinical documentation, MIS reporting, speech-to-text workflows and clinical decision support while offering cloud-based access without requiring extensive IT infrastructure.
The government said eSushrut@Clinic will be available for government primary health centres, health and wellness centres, sub-centres and private clinics. More than 800 healthcare facilities have already been onboarded to the platform and C-DAC is also deploying its eSushrut software across over 15 AIIMS and several state government hospitals.
To promote adoption the National Health Authority (NHA) has signed an agreement with C-DAC under which the software will be offered at an effective subscription price of ₹299 per month for up to five users after a government-supported discount. The platform will also be provided free of cost for the first three months with NHA extending call-centre support and C-DAC handling software maintenance and upgrades.
According to the Health Ministry the initiative is expected to improve efficiency, reduce administrative burden on healthcare providers and expand the adoption of interoperable digital health records across India’s primary healthcare ecosystem.
