Jammu, August 14, 2026: An ABHA generation drive is being conducted at Gandhi Nagar Hospital in Jammu to encourage citizens to create their Ayushman Bharat Health Account (ABHA) ID and become part of India’s growing digital healthcare ecosystem.
The initiative is being facilitated by the Chief Medical Officer (CMO) Jammu’s team, which is available on the hospital premises to assist visitors with ABHA registration and explain the benefits of maintaining a digital health identity.
Encouraging Citizens to Adopt Digital Health Records
The awareness and registration drive aims to make digital healthcare services more accessible to the public. Citizens visiting Gandhi Nagar Hospital can approach the designated desk to register for their ABHA ID with assistance from the team.
An ABHA ID provides citizens with a digital identity for their health records and is an important component of the country’s efforts to create a more connected and technology-enabled healthcare system.
Making Healthcare Records More Accessible
Digital health initiatives can help individuals maintain and access their health information in a more organised manner. As healthcare services increasingly adopt digital platforms, having an ABHA ID can support the seamless linking and management of health records where enabled by participating healthcare providers and services.
The initiative also seeks to improve awareness among citizens about the importance of digital health infrastructure and encourage greater participation in government-led digital healthcare programmes.
CMO Jammu Team Assists Visitors
The CMO Jammu team is conducting the drive on the ground at Gandhi Nagar Hospital, helping visitors understand the registration process and facilitating the creation of ABHA IDs.
Such awareness drives can play an important role in reaching people who may not be familiar with digital health services. By bringing registration assistance directly to a healthcare facility, citizens can learn about the system while accessing medical services.
The initiative reflects the broader push towards smarter, more accessible and digitally connected healthcare in Jammu & Kashmir.
Citizens visiting Gandhi Nagar Hospital are encouraged to make use of the dedicated registration facility and take a step towards maintaining their healthcare information through India’s digital health ecosystem.
