What is Digital Health Card?

Let us tell you simply that a digital health card is a card in which complete information about your diseases history and prescription will be available digitally.

The digital health card will be like a unique ID card that will contain all the information related to your illness, treatment and medical tests. On this card you will get a 14 digit number and from this number the medical history of a patient will be known. Hospitals and doctors will be connected to a central server to keep the patient’s medical history in this digital health card. There will be a registration for this. You will also be able to upload your data on the ‘NDHM Health Records App’. This app will have a list of all hospitals and clinics.
