Digital Health Card:
The Honorable Prime Minister started the Modi Health Card to maintain its health records. The card will own all the health records; we can erase the history anytime. It is used as a unique ID card containing health and all medical test-related data. It includes a unique 14-digit number to trace the patient’s medical history by doctors.
Like the Aadhaar card, the Ayushman card with an ID contains all the details in this digital card, such as name, address, personal information, etc. All the registered hospitals and doctors are connected to a central server that stores all the patient’s medical histories. We can create an ABHA Health Card by visiting healthid.ndhm.gov.in.
