'eSanjeevani' Integrated with NHA's Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM)

The National Health Authority (NHA) said that the government's 'eSanjeevani' telemedicine service was integrated with the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM). This integration allows the existing eSanjeevani users to easily create their Ayushman Bharat Health Account (ABHA) and use it to link and manage their existing health records. The users would also be able to share their health records with doctors on eSanjeevani leading to better clinical decision making and ensuring the continuum of care.
The eSanjeevani service is available in two variants. The first one is eSanjeevani Ayushman Bharat-Health and Wellness Centre (AB-HWC), a doctor-to-doctor telemedicine service through which the beneficiaries visiting a health and wellness centre can virtually connect to doctors in the hub that could be at a tertiary healthcare facility, a hospital or a medical college. The second variant, eSanjeevani OPD is serving patients across the country by connecting them directly to doctors from the comforts of their homes.
