Government Motive Behind ABHA

Do you know our Government’s Motive Behind ABHA? Or you are the one who is thinking ABHA as a smart way to track your money? Many of us are still considering ABHA as a tracker that is keeping an eye on their financial status. But the fact is, it is all wrong. ABHA is a unique health ID that has been created based on your AADHAAR. All the health records are just maintained under that ABHA ID in order to ease your accessibility for your medical records.

In order to avoid confusion and keep things transparent, the government has issued statements and presented their aim behind the concept of ABHA. As per their statement, there is no ulterior motive behind the integration/linking of health records with Ayushman Bharat Health Account (ABHA) numbers.

The Health Ministry has clearly stated their intention for ABHA and they said “ABHA isn’t some sneaky way for the government to track money. In fact, it is not linked to any monetary or fiscal scheme of the government. It is being rolled out across government health programs, such as Reproductive a and Child Health (RCH), Non- Communicable Disease (NCD), Nikshay, U-win (Universal-immunization), E-Sanjeevani (teleconsultation), PMJAY, Poshan (Anganwadi), etc,”

Do you know why there is a need for ABHA?

The Aadhaar card represents our identity and we all are assigned a unique ID. But to maintain user privacy, Aadhaar details can’t be saved on the system. Hence ABHA ID is being created under which all the medical records like lab reports, prescriptions, scans, etc will be saved. We believe each individual should have an ABHA ID in order to avail of the health facility.

ABHA is associated with your health only. It has nothing to do with financial tracking etc. We have come across so many misconceptions and of which people are getting confused. ABHA ID is your health ID that has been created based on your Aadhaar Card. Using this facility, people can access their health records anytime anywhere.

Why is there a need for linking health records with ABHA?

Many of us struggle for paper-based health records and to make things quickly accessible government is making the health sector digitally empowered. When you link your health records with ABHA, you can access it anytime anywhere.

The health ministry also said they’re making it possible for people to see their health records on their mobile phones, which will save money by not having to do tests again. They’re doing this thing called ABHA wherever health records are made. They’ll use it during events like Char Dham Yatra and Maha-Kumbh, for exams like UPSC, for driving license medical tests, and more.
