The National Health Authority (NHA) has directed state mission directors (SMDs) to expedite the verification of hospitals listed on the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM) platform. States with the highest number of pending verifications include Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, and Rajasthan. The HFR is a crucial component of ABDM, aiming to create a comprehensive repository of health facilities across the country. The ABDM also aims to develop digital health IDs (ABHA IDs) for citizens, with over 651 million IDs created so far.

The National Medical Commission (NMC) has made Ayushman Bharat Health Accounts (ABHA) IDs mandatory for all medical colleges in India. The move aims to enhance patient access to digital health records and provide a more accurate assessment of the number of patients treated by medical institutions. Starting from the academic year 2025-26, decisions regarding medical college assessments and recognition will rely on the registration of patients through ABHA IDs. The creation of ABHA IDs will also help address the issue of ‘ghost patients’ and improve transparency in the healthcare system.
