CONCLUSIONS
In this study, Teleprimary care not only enables
health staff to monitor immunization coverage and
timeli-ness accurately, but it also helps them to
identify defaulters quickly so that these children
can be traced and immunized on time. Doing these
tasks manually is time-consuming and tedious,
leading to delays in tracing defaulters. TPC
provides an effective system for staff to easily
access real time child health data to monitor and
audit their immunization programmed and take
remedial action where necessary. TPC can be used
as a tool to monitor immunization status in a clinic
more efficiently with standard auto-generated TPC
report that can be accessed at clinic level for
Individual child and community. With these auto
generated report, each clinic staff able to know
number of children visited for immunization in a
session, number of children given immunization
timely, number of children received immunization
late and reasons of being late, number of children
did not received immunization which was planned
including patient name, TPC number, Date of birth,
address and contact number so that staff can start
tracing patient immediately next day. This is
important so that we can make sure all patient
received immunization in time.
