With 10 crore consultations
provided to the people from
various corners of the country,
eSanjeevani has garnered the
distinction of being the world’s

better and easier, eSanjeevani
also helps patients generate
an Ayushmaan Bharat Health
Account (ABHA) number, which
is a 14-digit unique ID of a
patient that links their health
records across multiple systems
and stakeholders. Till date,
around 30 crore ABHA IDs have
been created and integrated
with the National Digital Health
Ecosystem, out of which more
than 45,000 ABHA IDs have been
generated via the eSanjeevani
app.
eSanjeevani is a prime
example of how digital initiatives
taken by the Government
of India are revolutionizing
the healthcare sector in the
country. By enabling remote
consultations, eSanjeevani is
making healthcare services
accessible to people in rural and
remote areas. The success of
eSanjeevani has demonstrated
the potential of digital initiatives
in achieving universal health
coverage and making healthcare
services more accessible,
efficient, and affordable for each
and every Indian.
