eSanjeevani Crosses 43 Crore Consultations as India Strengthens Digital Health Network

Jadhav informed Parliament, highlighting the increasing role being played by the country's national telemedicine platform in providing access to digital health and the progress of integration with ABHA and ABDM.

eSanjeevani has facilitated over 43 crore teleconsultations, expanding digital health access nationwide through the integration of ABHA and ABDM across the country.

The country’s telemedicine ecosystem is growing rapidly, and eSanjeevani has emerged as one of the biggest digital health platforms in the world.

The Union Health Minister Prataprao Jadhav has informed Parliament that the number of consultations through the service crossed 43 crore, a testament to its central role in augmenting equitable access to medical care across the country.

As designed, eSanjeevani ensures quality healthcare reaches the people irrespective of financial constraint issues, particularly those who depend on the digital health services to avoid long travels in search of specialists.

eSanjeevani has been designed to contribute to digital health equity and progress towards Universal Health Coverage for India. It enables easy access to doctors and specialists on smartphones, and those without digital devices can access services from nearby Ayushman Bharat Health & Wellness Centres for remote connectivity with medical professionals.

“The services are functional across all 28 states, and 8 Union Territories of India, and more than 43 crore consultations have been provided as on November 23, 2025,” said Jadhav in a written reply in the Rajya Sabha.

He further stated that though the platform does not capture patient income levels, its high utilisation across rural and underserved areas indicates that a large number of economically vulnerable groups are accessing medical consultations at no cost.

eSanjeevani started off in November 2019 as a provider-to-provider platform, operating on the hub-and-spoke model to connect doctors and healthcare facilities.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, in April 2020, it expanded its service by adding a patient-to-provider system so that citizens can get outpatient consultations directly from their homes.

With continuing expansion, greater integration of the ABDM, and steadily rising adoption across the country, eSanjeevani remains one of the most important pillars in the country's digital public health infrastructure, a reflection of growing trust in telemedicine and ABHA-linked digital health services.

"eSanjeevani is aligned with key building blocks of Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission, such as Healthcare Professionals Registry, Health Facility Registry, ABHA integration, and interoperable electronic health records. The integration of ABDM with eSanjeevani will further allow the creation, linking, and sharing of digital health records through ABHA," the Minister said.

"This greatly scales up India's digital public infrastructure and national interoperability," he added.
