In a significant development for health infrastructure, Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha highlighted the pivotal role of the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission in transforming the healthcare landscape of the nation. Speaking at a high-level meeting presided over by Union Minister of Health J P Nadda, Saha underscored the mission's objective to furnish every Indian citizen with a digital health identity, ensuring a secure and integrated framework for health services.

The meeting witnessed attendance from Health Ministers of Madhya Pradesh and Odisha, alongside other distinguished officials including Union Ministers Prataprao Jadhav, Anupriya Patel, and Jitin Prasada. The Chief Minister revealed that ABHA accounts, covering around 80% of Tripura's residents, have been successfully established.

Dr. Saha announced that Scan and Share services have been employed to issue approximately 18 lakh digital tokens to patients across 31 government hospitals, significantly reducing wait times. In addition, with the implementation of the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission, IGM Hospital serves as a model institution.
