Health ID Card Latest Bihar News Today - Digital Health

1. Bihar Government Encourages Citizens to Apply for Health ID Card Online for Better Medical Services In a major step towards digitizing healthcare services, the Bihar government is actively promoting the Health ID Card initiative under the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM). Citizens of Bihar can now easily apply for their Health ID Card online through a dedicated portal, ensuring seamless access to medical records and treatment history across the country. The Health ID Card is a revolutionary step in India’s healthcare system, aimed at creating a unique digital health identity for every individual. With this card, people can securely store and share their health data with verified medical professionals, hospitals, and labs. This move is expected to bring transparency and speed to the treatment process, particularly in emergency situations. The official Bihar health portal has made the application process user- friendly. Residents can visit biharnews.com to initiate their registration. Applicants need to provide basic details such as Aadhaar number or mobile number, followed by a few health-related inputs. Once registered, a unique 14-digit Health ID is generated which can be used across hospitals and clinics nationwide. Officials from Bihar’s Health Department have reported an increase in the number of registrations in recent weeks, citing greater awareness and public interest. “With a Health ID Card, citizens will no longer need to carry bulky medical files. All their reports, prescriptions, and diagnoses can be accessed digitally,” said Dr. Anil Kumar, a senior health official in Patna. The initiative is also being seen as a game-changer in rural areas where access to quality healthcare has traditionally been a challenge. Telemedicine and online consultations will become more efficient with the availability of patient history via Health ID Cards.

Private and government health facilities have been directed to inform patients about the benefits of the card and assist them in registration if needed. With increasing digitization and public cooperation, the Health ID Card initiative is set to improve healthcare accessibility and efficiency in Bihar. Citizens are encouraged to visit the official site and apply for their card to ensure they are part of India’s growing digital health ecosystem.
