Digital Health ID Card: Earlier this week, PM Narendra Modi launched the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission. The idea behind this mission is to provide a digital health ID card to the public. The health card will be available for all Indians and comes with special benefits announced by the Indian government.
The health card will include many details such as the card holder’s name, data of every test, disease, doctors’ visits, diagnosis, medicines taken, and more. The ID will also allow doctors to know about a patient’s medical history before treating them.
To get a new health card, you will need to provide your mobile number and Aadhaar card number. All health records of the cardholder will be available within the mobile app, developed by the Healthcare Professionals Registry (HPR) and Healthcare Facilities Registries (HFR).
Follow the below steps to create a new health ID. A step-by-step guide.
