Context: Pradhan Mantri Digital Health Mission has been launched.
Will create a seamless online platform through the provision of a wide-range of data, information and infrastructure services, duly leveraging open, interoperable, standards-based digital systems while ensuring the security, confidentiality and privacy of health-related personal information.
Enable access and exchange of longitudinal health records of citizens with their consent.
Create interoperability within the digital health ecosystem, similar to the role played by the Unified Payments Interface in revolutionizing payments. Citizens will only be a click-away from accessing healthcare facilities.
Key components
A health ID for every citizen that will also work as their health account, to which personal health records can be linked and viewed with the help of a mobile application;
A Healthcare Professionals Registry (HPR) and Healthcare Facilities Registries (HFR) that will act as a repository of all healthcare providers across both modern and traditional systems of medicine ensuring ease of doing business for doctors/hospitals and healthcare service providers.
