What is AYUSHMAN BHARAT HEALTH ACCOUNT (ABHA)?

Imagine carrying all your medical records in your pocket—from prescriptions to tests and scan reports to bills. Instead of carrying around multiple physical files, you can view everything on your smartphone 24/7. No matter where you are in the world, you can give your doctor instant access to your records in just minutes.

ABHA makes this possible!

ABHA, a part of Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM), is an initiative launched by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare for Indian citizens. It is a FREE health ID containing a 14-digit unique identification number. ABHA allows individuals to save, view, and download past medical records in digital format from multiple doctors and hospitals in one place. It acts as your health record’s central repository, which can be accessed and shared with hospitals, clinics, and pathological labs from any place in the world.

ABHA (Ayushman Bharat Health Account) typically takes the form of an email-like address, such as ‘yourname@consentmanager’. For example, ‘xyz@abdm’ indicates an ABHA address associated with the ABDM Consent Manager, which supports the secure exchange of health data within the ABDM network upon the appropriate consent.

The address is required to sign into the Health Information Exchange & Consent Manager (HIE-CM).

Health Information Exchange—Consent Manager (HIE-CM) allows ABHA users to manage their consents, shares, and links to their Personal Health Records (PHR). Ayush Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM) has its own HIE-CM. In the near future, patients will be allowed to choose their own consent managers.

You can find your ABHA address printed on your ABHA Card or in the ABHA section on the DORAYS LIS app.

Yes, you can create an ABHA Card for a child. The registration process remains the same. A Child ABHA will help you maintain your child’s medical history from the time of their birth.

Your ABHA personal details are retrieved from your Aadhaar card. So, you will have to visit the Permanent Enrolment Center or the nearest Aadhaar center to upgrade personal information (name, address, dob, gender, mobile number, and email) and biometrics in your Aadhaar. However, you can change your ABHA profile image from your dashboard.

You can contact the ABHA Digital Health Card Department on their toll-free number - 1800114477.

Yes, an individual can create multiple ABHA numbers to maintain different medical records. For instance, a user may want to use a separate account for medical records that they want to keep private.

However, it is strongly recommended that each citizen maintain only one ABHA health ID to get maximum benefits from the ABDM system.

ABDM does not store your medical history. Instead, your medical records are kept by healthcare providers based on their company policies. These records are shared over the ABDM network through encryption techniques, but only with your permission.
