Creation of ABHA Number

ABHA number is a 14 digit number that is unique (only one per person) issued only after a strong KYC. ABHA number is a core building block of the ABDM ecosystem that is designed to ensure that people can have a unique ID (identifier) for healthcare.

ABHA numbers are extremely important for helping those who use feature phones or do not use a phone to manage their personal health records. ABHA numbers are issued in assisted mode extensively by all Government health programs.

Healthcare providers are encouraged to issue ABHA numbers to patients who dont carry phones and link records to the default ABHA address (<14DigitABHAno>@abdm)
