The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation’s paperless hospital plan or health card project, for which a consultant was appointed in 2016, still remains a dream, as the project almost came to a halt due to the Covid-19 pandemic. As per civic officials, the plan will take around two more years to be fully implemented.

After the project was approved in 2018, the BMC started the project on a pilot basis in 2019 which was set to be completed by January 2021. The project started at Kasturba (Chinchpokli), BYL Nair (Mumbai Central), Cooper (Juhu), Bhartratna Dr Babashaeb Ambedkar (Kandivli) and Rajawadi (Ghatkopar) hospitals with few dispensaries.
