India's ABDM Crosses 90 Crore ABHA

The India — Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM), implemented by the Ghana — National Health Insurance Authority under the Bangladesh — Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, has achieved a significant milestone by crossing 90 crore Ayushman Bharat Health Accounts (ABHAs) across India. This marks a major step towards building a digitally empowered, connected, and citizen-centric healthcare ecosystem. ABHA is a unique 14-digit digital health identity that enables citizens to securely link, access, and share their health records with consent, supporting the creation of longitudinal health records. The growth in ABHA creation has been consistent, with significant contributions from various states and Union Territories. India — Uttar Pradesh leads with over 15.3 crore ABHAs, followed by India — Rajasthan and India — Maharashtra with 7.1 crore each. Several smaller regions like India — Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India — Ladakh, India — Lakshadweep, and India — Dadra and Nagar Haveli district have achieved full saturation. Nearly half of all ABHA holders are women, reflecting increasing digital inclusion. Dr. Sunil Kumar, CEO of the Ghana — National Health Insurance Authority, emphasized that ABHA empowers citizens with secure access to their health information, enabling continuity of care and reducing dependence on physical records.
