On the 15th of August 2020, the National Digital Health Mission (now known as Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission) was launched as a pilot in six Union Territories: Andaman and Nicobar, Chandigarh, Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu, Ladakh, Lakshadweep, and Puducherry. National Health authority is creating awareness about the advantages of this health ID.
In the country, 15,05,92,811 Health IDs (now known as ABHA – Ayushman Bharat Health Accounts) were generated until January 25, 2022. The Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM) ecosystem has a total of 15,016 health facilities and 8,378 doctors registered.
Ayushman Bharat Health Accounts (ABHA) numbers (formerly known as Health IDs) were produced for beneficiaries registered through the CoWIN platform who supplied Aadhaar as evidence of identity at the vaccination location only after the vaccinator had taken their assent.
The Union Health Ministry is assisting States and UTs in the implementation and strengthening of health IT initiatives in public health facilities such as Hospital Management Information Systems, Telemedicine services, and so on through the National Health Mission.
