PM Narendra Modi launched the Prime Minister’s Digital Health Mission on 27 September. Under this scheme, every Indian will get a unique digital health ID. This health card will have a complete record of the person’s health. Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the National Digital Health Mission on 74th Independence Day (15 August 2020).
Benefits
The digital health infrastructure of the country will be integrated under the National Digital Health Mission (NDHM). Under this scheme, the government is preparing to bring a significant change in the country’s health system. It aims to bridge the gap between different stakeholders in the healthcare ecosystem through a digital highway. The Health ID card is also a part of the National Digital Health Mission.
Unique Digit Health ID will be a 14 digit randomly generated number. In this health ID card, complete information related to the person’s health record, such as treatment-related tests, reports, medicines, discharge, etc., will be stored through which doctors will be able to see the patient’s complete medical history. Due to this health ID card, the patient will not need to carry his medical records physically.
