Digital Health ID For Every Indian, Digitally Secure Health Records: PM

Every Indian will now get a digital health ID, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said today as he launched the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission.

"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.

"130 crore Aadhar IDs, 118 crore mobile subscribers, about 80 crore internet users and 43 crore Jandhan Bank accounts - such a huge connected infrastructure can't be found anywhere else in the world. This digital infrastructure - from ration to governance - is reaching every Indian in a transparent manner," the Prime Minister said in a televised address.
