According to a press release, digital insurer Edelweiss General Insurance (EGI) has teamed up with the Indian Ministry of Health to assist in the creation of digital health identities for individuals.

The 14-digit ABHA (Ayushman Bharat Health Account) number enables consumers to exchange and access their digital health records with authorized healthcare professionals.

The development of safe and secure digital health records begins with ABHA. Although it is optional, having an ABHA number enables users to access and share personal health records digitally.

Users can then receive their digital lab results, diagnoses, prescriptions, etc., from Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM), registered healthcare providers, and doctors anywhere in the nation in a timely and paperless manner.

As part of the ABDM, the National Health Authority (NHA) is in charge of carrying out this program.
