Dr. Harsh Vardhan, Union Minister for Health and Family Welfare today visited National Health Authority (NHA) to conduct a high-level review of the implementation of the flagship health protection mission, Ayushman Bharat - Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana(AB PM-JAY) and National Digital Health Mission (NDHM). The Union Health Minister also interacted with several officials taking a complete review of implementation of both the schemes covering all important aspects.
Dr. Harsh Vardhan said, “The National Digital Health
Mission was launched under the visionary leadership of our Prime Minister Shri
Narendra Modi ji to expand access to timely, affordable, safe healthcare for
all 1.3 billion citizens wherever they are and whenever they need. The NDHM
will digitalize healthcare by creating a country-wide digital health ecosystem
that will enable patients to store, access and consent to share their health
records with doctors and health facilities of their choice.”
The Minister was given a full demo of the key systems of
NDHM - HealthID, DigiDoctor, Health Facility Registry, eHospital, Patient
Health Records and Consent Manager- by Dr. Indu Bhushan, CEO, National Health
Authority (NHA) in the presence of senior officers of NHA.
Sharing his observations, Dr. Vardhan said, “Today, I
reviewed NDHM and I am happy to note that in just a little over three months,
the Mission has made notable progress in its pilot in six Union Territories of
Andaman & Nicobar, Chandigarh, Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman &
Diu, Ladakh, Lakshadweep and Puducherry, and will soon be ready for a national
roll-out. From both the citizen and medical practitioner point of view, the
mission is privacy and security-led and will enable consent-based sharing of health
information in the form of test reports, scans, prescriptions and diagnosis
reports between patients and treating medicos thereby making follow-up care
seamless, secure and timely.”
He added that “One of the most remarkable aspects of NDHM
is that it takes into account the lived realities of Indians spread across the
digital divide. NDHM will empower millions of citizens without smart phones or
those in remote tribal areas facing connectivity issues to still avail
healthcare through its offline modules.”
NDHM is a mission to harness technology to improve the
efficiency, effectiveness, and transparency of healthcare delivery in
The Health Minister also reviewed the implementation of
Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY which completed two years on 23rd September this year. Appreciating the
progress of the scheme, Dr. Vardhan said, “In these unprecedented times, I am
pleased to know that more than 1.4 crore cashless treatments worth over Rs.
17,500 crore have been provided to the poorest citizens under Ayushman Bharat
PM-JAY. During the height of the pandemic, Government of India has been careful
to not lose focus away from critical illnesses and ensured that all those
needing such essential healthcare were provided the same. This has resulted in
savings of nearly Rs. 35,000 crore to the people. We understand that this
health assurance and its delivery is a huge source of support and security for
millions of families reeling under the extreme stress of serious illness amidst
this pandemic.”
Ayushman Bharat – Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana
(AB-PMJAY) is the flagship scheme of Government of India that provides a cover
of up to Rs. 5 lakhs per family per year, for secondary and tertiary care
hospitalization to over 10.74 crore vulnerable entitled families (approximately

services for the beneficiary at the point of service. The scheme covers 1,592
