Digilocker users can now store health reports

NEW DELHI: Digilocker users can now store health records and link them with their Ayushman Bharat Health Account (ABHA), the National Health Authority said on Thursday.

The NHA, under Union ministry of health and family welfare, is the nodal agency designated to implement Narendra Modi government’s flagship Ayushman Bharat initiative as part of National Health Policy 2017, in order to achieve the vision of Universal Health Coverage.

“Digilocker... has successfully completed its second-level of integration with Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM). The secure cloud-based storage platform of Digilocker can be used now as a health locker for storing and accessing health records such as vaccination records, doctor prescriptions, lab reports, hospital discharge summaries etc,” said the health ministry in a statement.

In addition to this, ABHA holders can also link their health records from different ABDM registered health facilities and access them via the Digilocker. Users can also scan and upload their old health records.
