Prime Minister Narendra Modi has inaugurated the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission on 27 September. The inauguration announcement was made via video conferencing, and Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya was also present at the event. The mission's nationwide deployment coincides with the National Health Authority's (NHA) third anniversary of the Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB PM-JAY). PM Modi announced the project, also known as the Pradhan Mantri Digital Health Mission or the National Digital Health Mission, during his Independence Day speech in 2020 from the ramparts of the Red Fort. It has been implemented in a pilot phase in six union territories, according to the Prime Minister's Office (PMO). Modi on 26 September said in a tweet: "This Mission leverages technology to improve access to healthcare and opens doors for new innovation in the sector." Meanwhile, Mandaviya also said in a tweet: "This Mission will create a seamless online platform to enable information-sharing within the digital health ecosystem. Citizens will be able to access health facilities conveniently." According to the Health Minister, the project's three main components are a citizen's health ID, a healthcare professionals registry, and healthcare facility registries. Mandaviya said: "This will ensure ease of doing business by citizens and healthcare service providers. Now health is just a click away!" #AyushmanBharat #DigitalHealth #NarendraModi Subscribe to Swarajya on YouTube. Get a Swarajya subscription: https://subscriptions.swarajyamag.com...
