The Haryana government has taken a major step toward modernising health workforce regulation by launching a centralized digital platform that integrates the functioning of all six statutory health professional councils operating in the state. The Haryana Health Professionals Unified Portal (HHPUP), inaugurated by Health and Medical Education Minister Anil Vij on January 24, 2026, consolidates previously siloed systems for the Haryana Medical Council, Dental Council, Nursing Council, Physiotherapy Council, Pharmacy Council, and Paramedical Council into a single, user-friendly online interface.

Until now, doctors, nurses, pharmacists, physiotherapists, and paramedical staff had to navigate separate websites, application forms, fee structures, and renewal cycles for registration, license renewal, good standing certificates, and continuing medical education (CME) compliance. This fragmentation led to delays, duplicate data entry, compliance lapses, and difficulties for employers and patients in verifying credentials quickly.

The new unified portal addresses these pain points head-on. Key features include:

• Single-window registration and renewal using Aadhaar-based e-KYC and DigiLocker integration
• Digital issuance of certificates, renewals, and good standing certificates with QR codes for instant verification
• Online payment gateway for all council-related fees
• Mandatory CME credit tracking and upload system linked to council requirements
• Public search and verification portal for patients, hospitals, and recruiters
• Integrated grievance redressal module with time-bound resolution tracking
• Real-time dashboards for councils and the state health department to monitor compliance and workforce distribution

The platform is fully aligned with the National Health Professionals Registry (HPR) under the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM), enabling seamless data sharing with national systems and future integration with ABHA-linked health records. It also incorporates multilingual support (Hindi, English, Punjabi) and mobile responsiveness to ensure accessibility for professionals in rural and semi-urban areas.

Health Minister Anil Vij, while launching the portal, stated: “For too long, our health professionals had to deal with multiple systems and endless paperwork. This unified platform removes those barriers, saves time, ensures compliance, and builds public trust by making verification instant and transparent. It is a big step toward a more efficient, accountable, and future-ready health workforce in Haryana.”

The rollout is being supported by the National Health Mission (NHM) Haryana and the Directorate of Medical Education & Research. All councils have been directed to migrate existing registrations to the new system within a six-month transition window, during which parallel operations will be maintained to avoid disruption.

The initiative is expected to benefit over 1.5 lakh registered health professionals in the state, reduce administrative costs for councils, improve enforcement of professional standards, and enhance patient safety through easier credential verification. It also positions Haryana as one of the early adopters of unified digital regulation among Indian states.
