Bhubaneswar: Health Minister Mukesh Mahaling on Thursday said that the state government will implement the National Digital Health Mission soon enabling patients to access all their medical records in one account. The initiative aims at revolutionising healthcare in Odisha by creating a unified digital platform for all medical data.
The new system will introduce the Ayushman Bharat Health Account (ABHA) card, under the supervision of the National Health Authority (NHA). Mahaling said that citizens can register their health information through this card. Scanning the QR code on the card will instantly provide access to a patient’s medical history, including all past ailments and treatments.
The National Digital Health Mission ensures the digital storage and retrieval of medical data, making healthcare more accessible and efficient. People can apply for the ABHA card online and it will be integrated with the Ayushman Bharat scheme.
The Odisha government has set a target to distribute these health cards by February 2025, the minister added.
