Digital Health Push in Haryana Generates 1.63 Cr ABHA Cards

ABHA Cards enable individuals to generate a unique digital health ID and link their health records for secure access and sharing.

According to recent reports by the Haryana Government, 1.63 Cr ABHA Cards have been distributed to people in order to strengthen the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission in the state.

So far, 1.63 crore ABHA cards have been created in the state under this mission. Singh also reviewed the progress of ABDM in the state and urged citizens to take part in the digital transformation of the healthcare sector.

Haryana Health Minister Arti Singh Rao also got her Ayushman Bharat Health Account (ABHA) card created along with her staff in order to encourage this government mission.

Additionally, citizens can securely store, access and share their digital health records using their ABHA ID, enabling continuity of care and greater transparency.

Speaking on the occasion, the minister described the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission as a "transformational initiative aimed at digitising India's healthcare sector by creating a seamless and interoperable digital health ecosystem."

Highlighting the safeguards, Singh also said, “The scheme is built with stringent data security measures. Patient data is shared only with explicit consent. Health data remains with healthcare providers; ABDM facilitates secure exchange of sensitive health data instead of storing it centrally.”

She further said only limited data such as ABHA IDs, Healthcare Professional Registry (HPR) and Health Facility Registry (HFR) is stored centrally to ensure interoperability and trust within the system.

The ABDM operations team in Haryana is actively engaged in awareness campaigns and helping people generate their ABHA IDs across districts.
