The government of India is very focused on our well-being and in this regard, they keep initiating schemes to improve the health infrastructure of our country. ABHA <\/strong>(Ayushman Bharat Health Account)<\/strong> is one of those initiatives by ABDM (Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission)<\/strong><\/a> which act as a health identity number of an Indian citizen. Here we will know what an ABHA Health Card is along with its benefits & process.<\/p>\n

What is ABHA?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

As stated above ABHA acts as a health identity number using which a person can access and share their medical records seamlessly. ABHA card contains a 14-digit number<\/strong> which we formally call ABHA number. This ABHA number is unique for every user. Further, you can create multiple ABHA addresses for your ABHA number, but we recommend having only one ABHA address so that you can manage it efficiently.<\/p>\n

All the health records of a person are linked under their ABHA and they can extract them the moment they want. Moreover, having an ABHA card the person is not required to carry their health records physically.\u00a0 All your medical records such as prescriptions, diagnostic reports, lab reports, etc are consolidated under ABHA. Access them anytime, anywhere.<\/p>\n

Let’s take an example: Suppose you are out of the city and your grandparent needs immediate doctor\u2019s attention. They somehow manage to get the doctor but nobody is aware of their health history in the family except you. Now by being at a remote location, using their ABHA ID, you can share all the medical reports efficiently. This is the power of ABHA and each Indian citizen should have an ABHA card<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n
