## STATEMENT REFERRED TO IN REPLY TO LOK SABHA STARRED QUESTION NO. 199* FOR 29 TH  JULY, 2022

(a)  to  (e) Government of India  has  launched  Ayushman  Bharat  Digital  Mission (ABDM) which aims to create a platform enabling interoperability of health data within the health ecosystem to create longitudinal Electronic Health Record (EHR) of every citizen.

The infrastructure required for development of interoperable digital platform &  certain  modules  under  the  National  Digital  Health  Mission  (now  Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission) has broadly been assessed and identified in line with the objectives of ABDM.

For administrative support, various policy frameworks such as Health Data Management Policy, Sandbox Guidelines, Health Information Provider Guidelines etc. have been prepared and issued for smooth implementation of ABDM.

States/UTs are expected to play a crucial role in adoption of ABDM. ABDM being a centrally sponsored scheme, financial assistance is provided to States/UTs for  Human  resources,  Information  Education  &  Communication  (IEC)  and Capacity building. States/UTs administration will help in onboarding and handholding  all  the  facilities/health  professionals,  integrating  any  state  health programmes  and  state  specific  digital  health  solution(s)  with  ABDM  and  to collaborate with various stakeholders of digital ecosystem to increase the creation and seamless sharing of digital health records.

Both public and private sector IT solutions in health are integrated through various  registries  under  ABDM  to  aid  creation  of  longitudinal  EHR  across  the country. Till  23 rd July 2022,  47  entities (17 public and  30  private)  have successfully integrated with ABDM  eco  system. More than 800 entities (government and private) are presently integrating with ABDM.

As on 23 rd July 2022, a total 23,08,75,100 ABHA Numbers; 1,10,939 Health Facilities and 30,210 Healthcare Professionals have been registered (State/UT-wise details attached at Annexure - A).

District  wise  detail  of  ABHA  numbers,  Healthcare  facility  &  Healthcare Professionals registered in Jharkhand are attached as Annexure - B.

Government  has  taken  various  steps  to  ensure  that  the  benefits  of  the mission reach every citizen. Inclusion is one of the key principles of ABDM. The digital  health  ecosystem  created  by  ABDM  supports  continuity  of  care  across primary, secondary and tertiary healthcare in a seamless manner. It aids availability of  health  care  services  particularly  in  remote  and  rural  areas  through  various technology  interventions  like  telemedicine  etc.  The  Mission  has  provisions  for assisted mode in places where internet connectivity might be poor. For instance, Offline mode  for creation of ABHA  has  been  enabled  wherever internet connectivity might be poor or there would be unavailability of hardware or both.
