DEVELOPED COUNTRIES attach much significance to medical health of a person right from his birth date till the time he passes away. These records are now electronically kept - substituting the old form of keeping records in doctors’ folders or files. In India, people are taking the help of modern allopath, homoeopath, ayurvedic diagnosis and so on. Except for allopath in certain hospitals, for the rest, records are not properly maintained. This results in keeping many vital aspects from medical view point of a patient in the dark when he goes to see to a medical practioner for seeking remedy for any immediate ailment or disease.

Perhaps it is time a debate should be initiated whether to put every aspect of medical treatment given to any citizen in the electronic mode. Such a system will make the task all the most easier for doctors in any field to properly diagnose any patient after thoroughly understanding the history or background.  A law should also be mandated to put such a system into practice by all those who are offering medical remedies.
