Update on Progress of AB-PMJAY and ABDM
- AB-PMJAY (launched 2018) is the world's largest publicly-funded health assurance scheme, providing ₹5 lakh/family/year cashless secondary & tertiary care; ABDM (launched 2021) is the digital backbone creating interoperable health records via ABHA IDs.
- A March 2026 PIB update consolidates progress across both flagships under the National Health Authority (NHA) within MoHFW — central to GS-II governance and welfare schemes.
- Together they constitute Pillar 2 of the larger Ayushman Bharat architecture (the other being Health & Wellness Centres / Ayushman Arogya Mandirs).
