First ABDM Microsite under the 100 Microsites Project by National Health Authority launched in Aizawl, Mizoram

  • The National Health Authority (NHA) had announced 100 Microsites projects for accelerated adoption of Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM) across the country.
  • Recently, Mizoram became the first state in India to operationalize an ABDM Microsite in its capital city Aizawl.

Microsites Project

  • ABDM Microsites are defined geographical regions where focused outreach efforts would be made to onboard small and medium-scale private healthcare providers.

Implementation

  • These Microsites would be majorly implemented by State Mission Directors of ABDM.
  • The financial resources and overall guidance would be provided by NHA.
  • An interfacing agency under this program will have an on-ground team to reach out to the healthcare providers in the area.
  • This team will spread awareness about the benefits of ABDM.
  • It will help the service providers to join the core registries under ABDM.
  • Patients will be able to link the health records generated at these facilities with their Ayushman Bharat Health Accounts (ABHAs).
  • They will be able to view and share these records using any ABDM-enabled Personal Health Record (PHR) application on their phones.

Facilities covered under a Microsite

  • Private facilities such as standalone clinics, polyclinics, nursing homes, small hospitals (preferably <10 beds), labs, pharmacies, and any other healthcare facilities wherein health records are generated.
