New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday launched the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission.
Terming the Mission’s launch as “an unprecedented phase of health reforms in India”, the PM said that under this, a unique digital health ID will be provided to the people, which will contain all the health records of the person.
He said that this would provide greater benefits for the poor and middle classes.
The pilot project of the National Digital Health Mission was announced by the prime minister from the ramparts of the Red Fort on August 15, 2020.
“Today is a very important day. The drive to strengthen the health facilities of the country, in the last 7 years, is entering a new phase today. This is not an ordinary phase. This is an extraordinary phase,” Prime Minister Narendra Modi said, lauding the digital initiatives in the country.
