Background:
E-aushadhi is a drug supply chain management initiative of the Rajasthan government. This study is conducted to assess this e-health program as evidence is lacking in this context.
Methods:
A mix-method study was conducted. Primary data were recorded from key stakeholders using qualitative interviews. Secondary data were collected from internet-based searches, reports, documents, and available literature. Findings were contextualized into the Benefit-Evaluation framework using six dimensions.
Results:
E-aushadhi provides a systematic approach for sourcing, storing, and re-distribution of essential medicine through its three-tier structure. Its user-friendly dashboard entails accurate entries, customizable reports, and easy tracking. It has reduced workload and improved information management with timely drug supply while allowing monitoring with key performance indicators.
Conclusions:
E-aushadhi has been successful in improving beneficiary access at public health facilities and may act as a backbone architecture for various digital interventions in the National Digital Health Mission that supports the universal health coverage.
