Biography of Prof Azad

MIS-DGHS was gradually improving its eHealth services for citizens and beneficiaries. We were constantly innovating. We knew that the medical students, researchers, development workers, health managers, planners, policy makers, journalists and other professional groups frequently required up to date health statistics for their work. A convenient way of finding such information could be useful for them. We, at MIS-DGHS, innovated and launched such as a quick and convenient system. A web based online database stored all the updated health statistics. The person, who wanted to get any of the statistics, would need to send a statistics code prefixed with dghs in an SMS to 16345. For example, dghs mmr. In return SMS, s/he received the updated statistics on Maternal Mortality Ratio (mmr) in Bangladesh. Arrangement was there to constantly updating the health statistics in the database.
