The Health and Family Welfare Department of Delhi has taken a big digital step to promote gender equality and regulate the use of ultrasound technology. The Health Minister of India launched the new PC&PNDT online portal aimed at modernizing the enforcement of the Pre-Conception and Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques (PC&PNDT) Act.
This move replaces manual processes with a transparent and efficient digital system, making it easier to monitor registered facilities and take quick action against violations—especially related to illegal gender determination.
💻 What Is the PC&PNDT Online Portal?
The new portal, accessible at https://pcpndt.delhi.gov.in, offers several key digital features:
- Online submission of Form F by ultrasound clinics
- Public complaint registration system
- Live compliance status updates
- Enforcement and tracking of violations
This portal ensures better compliance, accountability, and faster response from authorities. It’s designed to help healthcare facilities follow the rules of the PC&PNDT Act more easily while keeping the entire system transparent and secure.
📉 Why Is This Important for Gender Equality?
Delhi’s sex ratio has dropped from 929 girls per 1,000 boys in 2022 to 922 in 2023—a troubling sign. This is below the national average of 940. Illegal prenatal gender determination continues to be a root cause of gender-based discrimination and imbalance.
Health Minister Dr. Singh stressed that Delhi must lead by example. He said this digital step is a part of the government’s commitment to protecting girl children and ending gender-based discrimination.
🏥 How It Helps Healthcare Professionals
For doctors, radiologists, and clinic owners, the portal simplifies:
- Uploading and managing Form F digitally
- Tracking your clinic’s compliance status in real-time
- Reporting or addressing any violations or complaints
- Reducing paperwork and manual submission errors
It also reduces the risk of being penalized for minor administrative issues, as everything is recorded, time-stamped, and traceable through the portal.
🔐 Strict Action Against Violations
The minister has directed officials to take strict action on any complaint received through the portal. This means greater scrutiny, but also more fairness, as all records will now be digitized and traceable.
Doctors and diagnostic centers must now ensure strict compliance with the PC&PNDT Act to avoid legal troubles and maintain their license to practice.
📣 A Step Forward in Digital Healthcare Governance
The launch of the PC&PNDT online portal is a game changer in how India tackles female foeticide and gender-based injustice. By going digital, the health department ensures better regulation, faster enforcement, and greater transparency—a win for both healthcare providers and society at large.
