Prime Minister Narendra Modi launches Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi launched the nationwide rollout of the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission on September 27, 2021, through a video conference. The nationwide rollout of the mission coincides with third anniversary of Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana.
Ayushman Bharat – Digital Mission aims to connect the digital health solutions of hospitals across the country with each other. This digitisation will make healthcare easier.
Under the mission, every citizen will get a digital health ID, which will contain their health record. The digital health ID will be a unique 14-digit health identification, to keep the health record digitally secure.
Other component of the mission includes a healthcare professionals registry and healthcare facilities registries, that will act as repository of healthcare providers.
This will not only make the processes of hospitals simplified but also increase ease of living.
Currently the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission is in pilot phase, in six union territories, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Chandigarh, Dadra and Nagar Haveli, Daman and Diu, Ladakh, Lakshadweep, and Puducherry.
