The Indian government has made it mandatory for Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS) beneficiaries to link their CGHS IDs with Ayushman Bharat Health Account (ABHA) IDs.
This initiative aims to integrate CGHS beneficiaries into India’s digital health ecosystem, enhancing access to health records and facilitating seamless healthcare services.
Benefits of Linking CGHS ID to ABHA ID
