With reference to Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission, consider the following statements: 1. Private and public hospitals must adopt it. 2. As it aims to achieve universal health coverage, every citizen of India should be part of it ultimately. 3. It has seamless portability across the country. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Answer
3 only
1. Private and public hospitals must adopt it. ABDM is voluntary, not mandatory, for hospitals or citizens. Verdict: Incorrect.
2. As it aims to achieve universal health coverage, every citizen of India should be part of it ultimately. The mission supports digital health infrastructure and can aid UHC, but enrolment is not compulsory for every citizen. Verdict: Incorrect.
3. It has seamless portability across the country. A core feature of ABDM is creation of interoperable digital health records and IDs with nationwide portability. Verdict: Correct.
Hence, only statement 3 is correct.
