Context: The National Health Authority (NHA) introduced the ABDM Microsite project to accelerate the adoption of digital health services across India.
- Mizoram is the first state to operationalize an ABDM Microsite, ensuring that healthcare facilities, including private clinics, small hospitals, and labs, become ABDM-enabled and offer digital health services to patients.
- The CEO of NHA highlighted the importance of the project, emphasizing its role in digitizing healthcare services across the country.
Mizoram’s efforts have made Aizawl the first ABDM Microsite in India, setting an example for other states.
About ABDM Microsites:
- ABDM Microsites are specific geographical areas where efforts are concentrated to onboard small and medium-sized private healthcare providers. These Microsites are primarily managed by State Mission Directors of ABDM, with NHA providing financial resources and guidance.
- Patients can link their health records generated at these facilities with their Ayushman Bharat Health Accounts and access and share these records through ABDM-enabled Personal Health Record applications.
Apart from Mizoram, states like Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Chhattisgarh have also made progress in implementing ABDM Microsites.
