Explanation

The U-WIN platform is a transformative digital initiative launched by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare to digitize vaccination records under India's Universal Immunization Programme (UIP) [4]. Modeled after the successful CoWIN platform used during the COVID-19 pandemic, U-WIN serves as a name-based registry for pregnant women and children from birth up to 16 years of age [4]. It tracks the administration of vaccines against 12 vaccine-preventable diseases, ensuring timely delivery and record-keeping [4]. Key features include 'Anytime Access' and 'Anywhere' vaccination, automated SMS alerts for upcoming doses, and the generation of universal QR-based digital vaccination certificates [4]. While other platforms like eSanjeevani focus on telemedicine and PM-ABHIM focuses on health infrastructure, U-WIN specifically targets the digitization of routine immunization services to improve coverage and efficiency [4].
