Buoyed by the success of Family Planning Logistics Management Information System (FPLMIS) at the grassroots, Odisha government has planned to extend it to urban areas in the State.
The FPLMIS is an online-based system that has effectively managed to streamline the supply system up to the sub-center level in an attempt to ensure contraceptive security to all the target couples. Director of Family Planning Dr Bijay Panigrahi on Monday said measures are being undertaken to scale up the FPLMIS in urban areas under the National Urban Health Mission programme.
Besides, efforts are on strengthening the delivery of newer contraceptives (injectables) to the eligible couples as part of the initiative to expand the basket of choices for the target beneficiaries both at the facility and community level, he said.
