National Health Authority (NHA), under its flagship scheme of Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM), announced the integration with the Aarogya Setu app. The integration will enable the Aarogya Setu app users to avail the benefits of ABDM.
According to the Union Health Ministry, under the ABDM, a user can generate their 14-digit unique ABHA (Ayushman Bharat Health Account) number.
Further the users can use the ABHA number to link their existing and new medical records including doctor prescriptions, lab reports, hospital records etc. and also share these records with registered health professionals and health service providers, the ministry said.
“We would soon roll out the functionality to view the users` digital health records as well, he added.
“With ABHA, Aarogya Setu has enabled an important consent based option for the citizens which will help them access their personal health record and useful services from the national digital health system,” said Ajay Prakash Sawhney, Secretary, Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology.
