India has the world's largest child population — approximately 440 million children under 18. Pediatric practices face very high OPD volumes, government immunisation programme obligations, child nutrition surveillance requirements, and PM-JAY coverage for childhood illnesses — all demanding specialised software support.
India's UIP is one of the largest immunisation programmes in the world. Private pediatricians are the primary touchpoint for vaccine delivery in urban and semi-urban areas. MedicoPlus tracks every UIP vaccine — BCG, OPV, Pentavalent, IPV, Rotavirus, PCV, MR, JE, DPT booster — with due date reminders sent automatically to parents.
Busy pediatric OPDs in Indian cities see 80–200 children per day — often with parents who are anxious and time-pressed. MedicoPlus enables rapid encounter documentation with paediatric templates so the doctor can complete a consultation in 3–4 minutes while generating a complete NMC-compliant record.
PM-JAY covers hospitalisation for childhood illnesses — neonatal conditions, severe pneumonia, dengue, diarrhoea with dehydration, and many more under paediatric HBP codes. MedicoPlus pre-loads these packages and generates the complete claim documentation from admission through discharge.
Tracking vaccination schedules for hundreds of patients across multiple visits is one of the most operationally demanding tasks for a pediatric clinic. MedicoPlus automates this completely — from schedule generation to parent reminders and defaulter tracking.
Child growth monitoring is fundamental to pediatric practice and to India's child health programmes. MedicoPlus provides integrated growth charting with Indian growth standards and identifies at-risk children for nutritional intervention.
Weight, height/length, head circumference, and BMI are plotted automatically on both IAP 2015 reference charts for Indian children and WHO Multicentre Growth Standards — giving the pediatrician a clinically relevant comparison for each child at every visit.
Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) and Moderate Acute Malnutrition (MAM) are identified automatically from MUAC measurements and weight-for-height Z-scores per WHO/Indian guidelines. SAM children are flagged for NRC referral. MAM children receive supplementary feeding counselling documentation.
If a child's weight or height crosses two centile lines downward between visits, MedicoPlus generates a growth faltering alert for the pediatrician. This early detection system helps identify nutritional deficiency, chronic illness, or psychosocial deprivation before they cause irreversible harm.
The Rashtriya Bal Swasthya Karyakram (RBSK) programme mandates screening of all children from birth to 18 years for 4Ds — Defects at Birth, Deficiencies, Diseases, and Developmental Delays. Private pediatricians participating in RBSK or school health programmes can manage all records in MedicoPlus.
India's National Vitamin A Supplementation Programme, Iron-Folic Acid supplementation for children, and deworming under the National Deworming Day all require documentation in the child's health record. MedicoPlus tracks these systematically.
Vitamin A supplementation — 1 lakh IU at 9 months, then 2 lakh IU every 6 months up to 5 years — is tracked in the vaccination module. Due dates are calculated automatically and parents reminded. Missed doses appear in the defaulter list for follow-up by the clinic or ASHA worker.
Weekly Iron-Folic Acid (WIFS) supplementation for adolescent girls and daily iron supplementation for children 6–59 months under Anaemia Mukt Bharat are documented in MedicoPlus with dose, formulation, and dispensing date recorded per child.
Albendazole administration under National Deworming Day (February and August) for children aged 1–19 years is recorded in MedicoPlus. The record captures date, dose, child's weight, and any adverse events — maintaining the complete preventive care history in one place.
Pediatric inpatient care in India is frequently funded through PM-JAY for BPL families, CGHS for government employees' children, ESI for factory workers' children, and state government schemes. MedicoPlus manages all payer types from one billing platform.
