Ayushman Bharat Health Card Now Available On Google Wallet: Here’s How To Access It
All senior citizens aged 70 years and above, regardless of their social and economic status, will now be able to benefit from the Ayushman Bharat Yojana. The process of issuing their Ayushman cards will begin soon.
Recently, the Union Cabinet approved an expansion of the Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB PM-JAY), extending health coverage to all senior citizens aged 70 and above. This means that these individuals can now access the benefits of the Ayushman Bharat scheme without any restrictions. The issuance of their Ayushman cards will start shortly.
Google Wallet Integration with Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM)
The National Health Authority, which is responsible for implementing the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM), has partnered with Google's research team to develop special tools that will make it easier for developers to integrate the ABDM architecture. According to a blog post by Google, the time required for such integrations, which previously took six months, can now be reduced to less than two weeks.
From next year, through a partnership with Eka Care, Ayushman Bharat Health Account (ABHA) ID cards will be available on Google Wallet. This development will enable over 60 crore people to easily access their ABHA ID cards on their smartphones. With the ABHA Health ID , users can present their medical records, such as lab results and prescriptions, at any hospital across India.
