Answer 1

Answer:

B. One citizen, one Electronic Health Record (EHR)

This concept aims to create a unique, centralized, and longitudinal digital health record for every resident of Kerala. This EHR will store all the citizen's medical data, making it easily accessible to authorized healthcare providers across the state's public health facilities, thereby ensuring continuity of care, better decision-making, and improved public health management.
