New
Delhi,
Dec
27:
The
world’s
largest
healthcare
insurance
plan
is
achieving
huge
success
in
the
form
of
the
number
of
beneficiaries
joining
it.
When
Prime
Minister
Narendra
Modi
launched
the
‘Ayushman
Bharat’ scheme
in
2018,
he
had
promised
for
universal
coverage
and
now
the
government
is
moving
ahead
successfully
with
its
target.
The
latest
data
show
that
more
than
30
crore
people
have
generated
their
Ayushman
card.

The
scheme
is
quite
successful
in
its
foundational
motive
to
move
from
a
selective
approach
to
health
care
to
deliver
a
comprehensive
range
of
services
to
the
poor
from
rural
and
urban
India.
Ayushman
Bharat
has
also
helped
the
Digital
India
initiative
as
it
has
leveraged
a
lot
as
to
whether
it
is
the
identification
or
verification
of
the
beneficiaries.

Enhancing
healthcare
ecosystem,
the
Modi
way

With
the
launch
of
the
Ayushman
Bharat
Digital
Mission,
the
Modi
government
aimed
to
develop
the
backbone
necessary
to
support
the
integrated
digital
health
infra
in
India.
Now,
with
more
than30
Crore
IDs
registered,
it
is
pretty
successful
in
its
mission.
Nevertheless,
with
the
Ayushman
Bharat
card
those
who
could
not
take
advantage
of
private
health
insurance
will
benefit
a
lot.

users
can
now
store
Ayushman
Bharat
health
records:
Here’s
how
to
do
it

Taking
universal
health
care
to
the
next
level,
PM
Modi
approved
the
national
rollout
of
the
‘Ayushman
Bharat
Digital
Mission’
(ABGM)
initiative.
His
government
allocated
Rs
1,600
crore
for
five
years
to
do
the
required
job.
Whether
it
is
CoWIN
or
Arogya
Setu,
or
even
e-Sanjeevani,
the
Modi
government
has
shown
how
it
can
use
technology
to
make
things
possible
for
the
underprivileged.

Recording
digital
health
records

In
addition
to
facilitating
evidence-based
decision-making
for
effective
public
health
interventions,
the
ABGM
cards
also
catalyse
innovation
and
generate
employment
across
the
healthcare
ecosystem.
The
randomly
generated
14-digit
numbers
are
not
just
helping
identify
persons
but
authenticate
them
as
well.

Ayushman
Bharat:
Four
years
on,
the
scheme
continues
to
broaden
horizon
and
reach

The
best
part
is
that
these
accounts
could
be
threaded
with
the
respective
health
records
to
generate
a
higher
level
of
healthcare
delivery
mechanism
for
the
poor
and
the
deserving.
This
number
then
could
be
used
for
depositing
their
digital
health
records.
At
the
same
time,
they
can
store
health
records
for
various
healthcare
providers.
Besides
all
these,
this
is
also
helping
the
beneficiaries
improve
clinical
decision-making
by
healthcare
providers.

Moreover,
Ayushman
Bharat
Digital
Mission
is
a
great
enabler
as
with
it,
the
beneficiaries
can
get

Bharat
Health
Account
number
and
benefit
from
the
universal
healthcare
plan
that
the
Modi
government
has
brought
in.
