Healthcare institutions in India still rely heavily on manual, paper-based records for managing basic patient details such as identity information, blood group, and medical consultations, which leads to delayed retrieval of data, frequent loss or damage of records, and inconsistencies across registers. To address these practical issues at an institutional scale, this project implements a web-based Medical Card Generation System that digitally stores and manages medical card records for patients. The system is developed using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, and MySQL deployed on an Apache web server, and provides role-based interfaces for administrators and users. Administrators can create, update, search, and report on medical cards through a dashboard, while users can view and print their medical cards using a unique reference number. The paper presents the motivation and problem statement, reviews related web-based hospital and medical record management systems, and then explains the proposed system architecture, core modules, and database design in detail. The implementation section describes the development environment, key forms such as the Add Medical Card screen, and the procedures followed for testing the application. Results show that the developed prototype successfully replaces manual registers with a centralized database, supports fast retrieval of records, and provides basic reporting capabilities suitable for small and medium healthcare institutions. Finally, the paper discusses limitations and outlines future enhancements such as SMS/email notifications, analytics dashboards, and cloud deployment.
