What is ABHA?

One digital identity for all your health records

An Ayushman Bharat Health Account lets you securely store and share your health records with healthcare providers, ensuring continuity of care wherever you go. Doctors can access your records through integrated clinical software — but only with your consent — making every consultation faster and better informed.

Securely store your reports, prescriptions and consultation notes in one place.

Share records across hospitals, clinics and labs without carrying paper files.

Stay in control — your records are only ever shared with your explicit consent.
