Mehul Dani: What is the role of NDHM? What will be its scope and ambit?
Dr Indu Bhushan: NDHM aims to develop a digital health ecosystem in India and enable the creation of a secure public digital infrastructure for the healthcare sector. It intends to empower healthcare providers and health facilities through digital registries and facilitate electronic signatures to make paperless registrations and payments. It will provide opportunities to deploy systems to streamline healthcare information. It aims to connect the entire health ecosystem of India through a reliable and secure digital backbone.
NDHM will implement key digital building blocks detailed in the National Digital Health Blueprint and make them accessible as digital public goods to the public as well as the private sector. The building blocks will be available as a collection of cloud-based services. Together these will create a robust framework to enable better healthcare delivery and management for the country.
