Volunteer ABDM

Overview

The Clinton Health Access Initiative Inc. (CHAI) is a global health organization committed to our mission of saving lives and reducing the burden of disease in low-and middle-income countries. We work at the invitation of governments to support them and the private sector to create and sustain high-quality health systems.

CHAI was founded in 2002 in response to the HIV / AIDS epidemic with the goal of dramatically reducing the price of life-saving drugs and increasing access to these medicines in the countries with the highest burden of the disease. Over the following two decades CHAI has expanded its focus. Today along with HIV we work in conjunction with our partners to prevent and treat infectious diseases such as COVID-19 malaria tuberculosis and hepatitis. 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. We are investing in horizontal approaches to strengthen health systems through programs in human resources for health digital health and health financing. With each new and innovative program our strategy is grounded in maximizing sustainable impact at scale ensuring that governments lead the solutions that programs are designed to scale nationally and learnings are shared globally.

At CHAI our people are our greatest asset and none of this work would be possible without their talent time dedication and passion for our mission and values. We are a highly diverse team of enthusiastic individuals across 40 countries with a broad range of skillsets and life experiences. CHAI is deeply grounded in the countries we work in with most of our staff based in program countries.

Project Background :

Launched nation-wide in September 2021 the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM) seeks to power Indias quest for Universal Health Coverage by creating the interoperability required for health information and records to be exchanged seamlessly across digital platforms leading over time to improved access quality and affordability of health services. 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 815 million ABHA created 430000 health facilities and 710000 health professionals registered. With 360 health systems and apps ABDM-enabled and the introduction of functionalities such as scan and share for OPD registration usage is deepening as well with over 740 million health records already linked to new platforms powered by ABDM such as the Unified Health Interface ( UHI) and Health Claims Exchange ( HCX) 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. Our focus has been on driving ado ption of ABDM among healthcare providers especially private sector healthcare professionals. A key constituency in the private sector are doctors who are not only the main consumers of health and medical records (on the basis of which they make their diagnoses and prescribe care) but also the main producers of these records.
