In a separate development, the authority has partnered with provincial governments to modernise civil documentation to introduce a digital birth and death registration system across hospitals and healthcare centres in Pakistan.

This step is part of the Uraan Pakistan program, focused on utilising technology for effective governance and economic growth.
