Over the following two decades, CHAI has expanded its focus.

Our work has also expanded into cancer, diabetes, hypertension, and other non-communicable diseases, and we work to accelerate the rollout of lifesaving vaccines, reduce maternal and child mortality, combat chronic malnutrition, and increase access to assistive technology.

Central to ABDM is the concept of a health account (Ayushman Bharat Health Account or ABHA). An individual with an ABHA can link their personal health and / or medical records to this account, and provide their consent to share their records with any other system that is ABDM-enabled. For instance, if they have been referred to a specialist for a consultation, they may provide them with access to diagnostic and other records that provide the specialist a comprehensive view of their medical history.The National Health Authority (NHA), an autonomous government institution manages the implementation of ABDM across the country. There has been tremendous progress so far, with 520+ million ABHA created, ~230,000 health facilities and ~270,000 health professionals registered. With 160+ health systems and apps ABDM-enabled, and the introduction of functionalities such as for OPD registration, usage is deepening as well, with over 335 million health records already linked to ABHAs. With new platforms powered by ABDM such as the Unified Health Interface ( ) and Health Claims Exchanged ( ) being introduced, the health ecosystem in India is poised to fully leverage ABDMs potential.WJCF has been supporting the operationalization and roll-out of ABDM since January 2021, working closely with and under the guidance of the NHA.
