The National Health Authority (NHA) announces the successful integration of eSanjeevani with its flagship scheme – Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM).
- This integration allows the existing users of eSanjeevani to easily create their Ayushman Bharat Health Account (ABHA) and use it to link and manage their existing health records like prescriptions, lab reports, etc.
- The users would also be able to share their health records with doctors on eSanjeevani which will help in better clinical decision making and ensuring the continuum of care.
- eSanjeevani is the telemedicine service of Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW).
- ABDM aims to build digital highways to bridge the gaps in existing digital health solutions and stakeholders in India.
- The integration of eSanjeevani with ABDM is one such example where the 22 crore ABHA holders can link and store their health records created via eSanjeevani directly in the health lockers of their choice.
- The users can also share their previously linked health records with the doctors on eSanjeevani making the entire consultation process paper-less.
