The Prime Minister said Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission, will now connect the digital health solutions of hospitals across the country with each other. The Mission will not only make the processes of hospitals simplified but also will increase ease of living, he added. Under this, every citizen will now get a digital health ID and their health record will be digitally protected.
The Prime Minister stated that India is working on a health model that is holistic and inclusive. A model which stresses preventive healthcare and, in case of disease, easy, affordable and accessible treatment. He also discussed unprecedented reforms in health education and said a much larger number of doctors and par medical manpower is being created in India now as compared to 7-8 years ago. A comprehensive network of AIIMS and other modern health institutions is being established in the country and work on establishing one medical college in every three Lok Sabha constituencies is going on. He also highlighted strengthening health facilities in villages and informed that in the villages, primary health centre networks and wellness centres are being strengthened. More than 80 thousand such centres have already been operationalized, said the Prime Minister.
Union Minister for Health and Family Welfare Shri Mansukh Mandaviya thanked the Prime Minister for the continuous assimilation of Swastha Amrut and its distribution to the last citizen of India from the continuous Aarogya Manthan of Ayushman Bharat, now three years old. Recounting Prime Minister’s address to the nation from the ramparts of Red Ford on Independence Day, 2020, he said, “This step of Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission would transform the healthcare sector and bring revolutionary change to the lives of all citizens.”
Shri Mandaviya expressed his confidence in the scheme and noted its quick implementation in the six Union Territories. He observed that old medical records cannot get lost as every record will be stored digitally. The Digital Ecosystem will also enable a host of other facilities like Digital Consultation, Consent of patients in letting medical practitioners access their records, etc. All this, he expressed hope, make today’s achievement a milestone in India’s history.
