Over 115,000 delivery partners are on their journey to receiving ABHA cards, and more than 78,000 have already created theirs on the ACKO platform.”
Commenting on the move, Brijesh Unnithan, SVP – Embedded Insurance, ACKO, says, “ACKO’s commitment to empowering customers with all their protection needs is unparalleled. We introduced the generation of ABHA IDs on our platform for individuals who wanted to access their digital health records, including insurance, at the click of a button. We’re happy to have helped 78,000+ delivery partners who relentlessly serve us day in and day out, create their ABHA IDs, and have easy and smooth access to their healthcare records on a single platform.”
The Ayushman Bharat Health Accounts, launched by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, are designed to create a streamlined and efficient financial structure for implementing the Ayushman Bharat Mission.
An Ayushman Bharat Health Account (ABHA) is a unique identifier that connects all of an individual’s health records in a digital format. The goal of ABHA is to foster a digital health ecosystem, advancing the digitisation of healthcare services. Individuals can register for the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM) to generate their Health ID or ABHA, completely free of charge. This system allows patients to easily access and manage their health data, such as lab reports, prescriptions, and diagnoses, from various healthcare providers, including hospitals, doctors, labs, and wellness centers. The platform ensures that health information is shared securely and based on patient consent.
