Delhi Health Minister Pankaj Singh
Delhi health minister Pankaj Singh on Friday launched a portal to modernise the mechanism to prevent illegal sex determination at ultrasound clinics. The PC & PNDT portal will help automate certain aspects of the implementation of the Pre-Conception and Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques (PC & PNDT) Act.
The portal, unveiled during a state-level workshop at the Delhi Secretariat, aims to streamline the registration of diagnostic centres, enable real-time monitoring, and ensure greater accountability in preventing the misuse of ultrasound technology for sex determination, a statement said.
Addressing the gathering, Mr Singh said, “The issue of sex determination is deeply rooted in our society. Delhi, as the national capital, must set a precedent for the country in combating this menace.”
“This digital initiative will enhance transparency, improve enforcement, and contribute to raising Delhi’s sex ratio which is currently at 922,” he said.The newly launched portal offers automated submission of “Form F” at ultrasound clinics, an online complaint registration system for people, and real-time updates on their compliance status, replacing manual processes with a digital framework for efficient oversight, the statement said.
