ABHA Background

ABHA Card – Create Ayushman Bharat Health Account Online

The ABHA Card (Ayushman Bharat Health Account) is a Digital Health ID launched under the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM) in September 2021 by the National Health Authority (NHA), backed by the Government of India. Designed to modernize India's digital care infrastructure, ABHA enables patients, doctors, hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, diagnostic laboratories, and healthcare providers to securely exchange health information through a consent-driven healthcare data exchange framework.

With over 70 crore ABHA accounts already created across India, the mission has become one of the largest digital health initiatives in the world. By creating an ABHA Health ID, Indian citizens gain access to paperless healthcare services, secure health records, and seamless healthcare experiences across verified facilities nationwide. The ABHA Number serves as a Universal Health ID — helping individuals store, manage, and access their Digital Health Records, Personal Health Records (PHR), prescriptions, lab reports, discharge summaries, and complete medical records from one integrated healthcare platform.

ABDM is transforming health service delivery by enabling healthcare interoperability between HMIS, digital health software, teleconsultation platforms, e-pharmacy systems, clinics, hospitals, and ABDM compliant software providers. Through this patient-centric care ecosystem, patients receive faster consultations, improved continuity of care, and better healthcare access while healthcare professionals gain secure access to accurate medical history for more informed treatment decisions.
