Ayushman Mitra
The Ayushman Mitra initiative is now being extended to another flagship scheme of the Government of India – Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission Under the ABDM, we’re building a digital health ecosystem for the country. The Ayushman Mitra volunteers can help everyone and anyone in the country to connect to ABDM by creating their Ayushman Bharat Health Account (ABHA) online.
Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB PM-JAY) is a scheme to provide health cover or health insurance of up to INR 5 lakh per family per year for certain beneficiaries. Like ABDM, it is also implemented by the National Health Authority. AB PM-JAY is leveraging the platform of ABDM, so that its delivery becomes more efficient and transparent. Similarly, any other such scheme or health programme can leverage the common building blocks or design of ABDM so that its efficiency can improve. The integration of ABDM with AB PM-JAY is like its integration with any other digital health system such as the one of NIKSHAY (antiTB programme), CoWIN (COVID vaccination portal), hospitals, etc. Apart from this integration, both the schemes have different goals. Thus, they are two different schemes being implemented by the same authority/office. However, AB PM-JAY has digital linkages with ABDM which enables effective quality and continuum of care.
