NHA Launches First Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission Microsite In Mizoram
Recently National Health Authority (NHA) had announced 100 microsites project for rapid adoption of Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM) across the country.
Mizoram has become the first state in India to launch ABDM microsite in its capital Aizawl.
Under this, all health facilities including private clinics, small hospitals and laboratories in the region will be made ABDM-enabled, and digital health services will be provided to patients.
100 microsites:
- The 100 Microsites project under ABDM is a very important initiative to reach out to the small and medium scale healthcare providers in the private sector in a big way.
- The concept of microsites was envisaged to provide a boost to the healthcare digitization efforts across the country.
- As a result of the efforts of the Mizoram team, Aizawl has become the first ABDM microsite in India. ABDM microsites are defined geographic areas where focused efforts will be made to reach out to small and medium scale private healthcare providers.
- These microsites will be primarily implemented by the State Mission Directors of ABDM, while financial resources and overall guidance will be provided by the NHA.
- Under this program an interfacing agency will have an on-ground team to reach out to healthcare providers in the area.
- The team will spread awareness about the benefits of ABDM and promote the use of ABDM enabled digital solutions for routine clinical documentation besides helping service providers to join the main registries under ABDM.
- Apart from Mizoram, states like Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra and Chhattisgarh have also made progress in implementing ABDM microsites.
