The National Health Authority (NHA) is India's apex body driving the country's most consequential public health transformation. Established in 2019 under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, NHA is the institutional force behind two landmark national programmes, Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY, the world's largest government-funded health assurance scheme, and the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM), India's framework for a unified digital health ecosystem. PM-JAY today covers 45% of India's population with over 8 crore hospitalizations recorded, while ABDM has enabled nearly 79.9 crore ABHA health IDs and registered 4.18 lakh health facilities as of November 2025. With PM-JAY 2.0 and ABDM 2.0 now on the roadmap, NHA is not merely administering programmes, it is architecting the future of India's health system.
