The digital health ecosystem created by ABDM supports continuity of care across primary, secondary and tertiary healthcare in a seamless manner. It ensures availability of health care services particularly in remote and rural areas where generally as such specialist care may not be available. A case in point is the telemedicine platform, eSanjeevani, which has enabled availability of health care services across the country.

As  it  reduces  the  need  for  repeated  diagnostics  through  availability  of  longitudinal  health records, it also will help in reducing the cost of care.

Ayushman  Bharat  -  Pradhan  Mantri  Jan  Arogya  Yojana  (PM-JAY),  launched  in  2018, provides  for  cashless  secondary  and  tertiary  care  treatment  from  empanelled  public  and private  hospitals.
