What Is the Assam HMIS Project?
The Health Management Information System (HMIS) is a digital platform used by governments to collect, store, and analyze health-related data. The Assam HMIS project aims to improve the way health information is managed across the state.
Through this system, hospitals, health centers, and government departments can:
- Record patient and service data digitally
- Monitor health schemes and programs in real time
- Improve planning and decision-making in healthcare
The project will help Assam’s health department move away from manual reporting and adopt a technology-driven healthcare management system.
Role of RailTel in the Project
Under this ₹5.67 crore contract, RailTel will be responsible for providing digital infrastructure and connectivity support for the HMIS platform. The company is known for its strong telecom network and experience in handling large government IT projects.
RailTel’s key responsibilities are expected to include:
- Setting up secure data connectivity
- Supporting IT infrastructure for HMIS operations
- Ensuring reliable communication between health facilities
With its nationwide optical fiber network, RailTel is well-positioned to support such mission-critical projects.
Why This Project Is Important for Assam
Assam has a mix of urban and remote rural areas, where access to quality healthcare remains a challenge. Digital solutions like HMIS can help bridge this gap.
Key benefits for Assam include:
- Better healthcare monitoring: Authorities can track health services more accurately
- Improved transparency: Digital records reduce errors and delays
- Faster decision-making: Real-time data helps in emergency planning
- Stronger rural outreach: Connectivity enables better service delivery in remote areas
The project supports the broader goal of digital inclusion in healthcare, especially in northeastern states.

- Digital India
- National Digital Health Mission (NDHM)
- Smart governance programs
By awarding this contract to RailTel, the government is leveraging a trusted PSU to build a secure and scalable digital health infrastructure.
