90 Crore Health Accounts Created: India's Digital Health Milestone
30 May
Summary
- Over 90 crore Ayushman Bharat Health Accounts (ABHAs) have been created.
- Uttar Pradesh leads with over 15.3 crore ABHAs, followed by Rajasthan and Maharashtra.
- Nearly half of ABHA holders are women, marking progress in digital health equity.
The Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM) has achieved a significant milestone, surpassing 90 crore Ayushman Bharat Health Accounts (ABHAs) created nationwide. This digital health identity empowers citizens to securely link, access, and share their health records. The initiative, implemented by the National Health Authority, aims to build a connected and citizen-centric digital health ecosystem.
Uttar Pradesh leads in ABHA creation with over 15.3 crore accounts, followed by Rajasthan and Maharashtra. Several states and union territories have achieved high saturation levels, with some reaching full population saturation. This widespread adoption reflects a concerted effort towards digital health integration.
A key aspect of this achievement is the significant participation of women, who account for nearly half of all ABHA holders. This progress is crucial for empowering women, particularly in rural areas, with secure digital access to their health information, ensuring continuity of care.
The creation of these accounts has been a collaborative effort between central and state governments, healthcare providers, and private sector partners. The ABDM utilizes various digital public infrastructure components to enable secure and interoperable health information exchange across the country, enhancing healthcare delivery.
