NEW DELHI: Every Indian will now get a digital health ID, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Monday as he launched the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission. The government — which has maintained that the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission will play a key role in the digital health ecosystem, like that of the Unified Payments Interface in revolutionising payments — has underlined that “citizens will now only be a click away from accessing healthcare facilities”.
“Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission will now help connect digital health solutions across the country. All Indians will now get a digital health ID under this scheme. Every citizen’s health record will now be digitally secure,” the Prime Minister said, underlining that “digitisation will make health-care easier”.
In his address after the virtual launch, Modi also said health has a very strong relationship with tourism as a good and integrated health infrastructure also improves the tourism sector.
Noting that digital infrastructure is bringing everything from — ration to administration (Ration to Prashaasan) — to the common Indian in a fast and transparent manner, the Prime Minister said: “The way technology is being deployed in governance reforms today is unprecedented.”
