Haryana is preparing to bring its entire network of government healthcare institutions onto a single digital platform, under a Haryana healthcare map built with Geographic Information System mapping. Citizens will be able to obtain information about hospitals, primary health centres, sub-health centres and AYUSH facilities from one place, instead of searching separate departmental records. The plan was reported on 2 November 2026, after a review meeting chaired by the state’s health leadership.
Additional Chief Secretary for Health and Family Welfare, Sumita Misra, reviewed progress on the exercise at a meeting where GIS mapping data of healthcare facilities across Haryana was presented. The meeting brought together three departments that have held their records separately: Health, AYUSH and Medical Education and Research. AYUSH covers Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homeopathy.
The aim is to replace fragmented records with a unified database. At present, a resident looking for a nearby government facility may need to check different sources for a civil hospital, a primary health centre and an AYUSH dispensary. Under the Haryana healthcare map, those records sit in one database, with each facility’s geographical location, basic institutional information and photographs available through a digital interface.
That matters in a state where healthcare institutions are spread across urban centres, towns and rural areas. Coordinated planning needs reliable, location-specific information, according to an official statement cited in reporting on the plan. Without a shared map, planners cannot easily see which areas have overlapping facilities and which areas have gaps in coverage.
Haryana healthcare map: what the platform will show
The platform will show the location of each facility, its basic details and photographs, so residents can identify government medical centres in their area more easily. It pairs verified institutional records with exact geospatial coordinates, facility photographs and basic departmental profiles. That combination is meant to help a resident find the nearest facility, and to help administrators check the spread of the network.
The Haryana Space Applications Centre, known as HARSAC, will provide technical support for managing the GIS database. HARSAC is the state’s nodal agency for remote sensing and geospatial applications. Its representatives assured the Health Department that the agency would provide technical handholding for the database and help share relevant information with other departments of the Haryana government.
Haryana healthcare map: why departments are merging records
The merger of records from three departments is the core administrative change. Health, AYUSH and Medical Education and Research each run parts of the public healthcare system, and each has kept its own lists. Bringing those lists into the Haryana healthcare map removes duplication and makes it possible to compare coverage across the whole system, rather than within one department at a time.
For administrators, the Haryana healthcare map gives a clearer picture of infrastructure and gaps in services across the state. A district with many small facilities but no civil hospital, or a rural block with no sub-health centre within easy reach, becomes visible on a map in a way that separate lists do not show. That visibility is the reason the project is framed as a planning tool as well as a public service.
For residents, the benefit is simpler. One search on the Haryana healthcare map, and one set of details for each facility reduces the time spent finding where to go for care. That is especially useful for people who are new to an area, or who need an AYUSH facility or a sub-health centre rather than a large hospital, and who may not know which department runs the nearest option.
What the first phase covers and what comes next
The immediate phase focuses on physical infrastructure mapping. Reports on the plan said it does not currently cover individual electronic health records, remote teleconsultations or real-time appointment booking. The first phase is about where facilities are, what they are and what they look like, rather than about booking or clinical records.
That scope for the Haryana healthcare map keeps the project achievable in the short term, while leaving room for later phases. Once the facility database is complete and public, later work could link it to other digital health systems. The state-level deployment is also designed to sit alongside the national digital transition led by the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission, although the Haryana platform itself is a state project.
No launch date for public access was stated in the reporting on 2 November. The review meeting presented GIS mapping data that had already been collected, which suggests the data work is under way. Residents will need to wait for the Haryana healthcare map’s public release before they can use it to search for facilities, and the state has not yet published that date for the Haryana healthcare map.
