Under this, a unique digital health ID will be provided to the people, which will contain all the health records of the person.”
The unique health ID would be created with the individual’s Aadhaar Card and registered phone number. All the data recorded by the individual would be safe with a wide range of data, information and infrastructure services. The initiative is also a step aiming for the Digital India– in the health sector, reducing the burden on people like paper records, on spot appointments instead of standing in long queues and developing the healthcare sector with pharmacy, and telemedicines digitally. The digital approach would also ensure privacy and confidentiality of patients and doctors with better digital access.
