Overview
- Registration for the new colour‑coded identity cards began Monday and is being run as a short state directive that must finish by May 28.
- The scheme assigns distinct colours to job groups so roles are visible at a glance, for example purple for doctors, orange for lab technicians, brown for nurses, maroon for security and blue for outsourced workers.
- Each hospital building must appoint a nodal officer to supervise the process and provide high‑speed broadband, dedicated registration desks and volunteers to manage queues.
- Webel will deploy technical staff to fix IT problems during on‑site registration and completed cards will be distributed through hospital nodal officers.
- Officials say the measure aims to speed identity checks and curb unauthorised access inside major state hospitals, but the four‑day window could strain staff time and no formal evaluation of the rollout has been published yet.
