ABHA (Digital Health ID)

ABHA is a 14-digit unique number used to identify a person, authenticate them, and thread their health records (only with their informed consent) across multiple systems and stakeholders. Creating an ABHA ID is a must for any individual who wants to participate in Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM) and have their health records digitally stored.

• 1. Personal Health Records (PHR): option to link personal health records with the digital health ID as a long-term health history.
• 2. Digital health records: access health records from admission to treatment and discharge without hassle.
• 3. Secure and private: a strongly secured and encrypted platform; user consent is required every time the PHR is accessed.
• 4. Easy signup: create the health ID with basic details along with Aadhaar or mobile number.
• 5. Opt out when you want: participation is voluntary; you can opt out and request erasure of your data anytime.

1. All residents of India are eligible to create an ABHA, regardless of their age, gender, or socio-economic status.
