Aarogya Setu app users can now generate the Aadhaar card-like 14-digit Ayushman Bharat Health Account (ABHA) number, the central government announced on Friday. The National Health Authority (NHA) has also announced its integration with Aarogya Setu under its flagship scheme Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM). This association will help users to generate a 14-digit unique ABHA ID number to the Aarogya Setu, link their existing and new medical records including doctor prescriptions, lab reports, hospital records etc. Additionally, the users will also be able to share these records with registered health professionals and health service providers and access other digital health services.

“With the integration of Aarogya Setu with ABDM, we will now be able to make the benefits of ABDM available to the users of Aarogya Setu and enable them to join the digital health ecosystem, with their due consent. Creation of ABHA is the start, and we would soon roll out the functionality to view your digital health records as well,” said Dr R S Sharma, CEO, National Health Authority (NHA).

The user can generate their ABHA ID by submitting their Aadhaar number and some basic demographic details like name, year of birth (Date of Birth), gender and address (auto-populated once the user authenticates via Aadhaar OTP). Users can also use their driving license or mobile number to generate the ABHA number. The ABHA number can be generated by visiting the official portal abdm.gov.in or the ABHA App (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.ndhm.phr).
