Ayushman Bharat’s digital mission is also being expanded so that digital arrangements can be made from the identification of people to payments, records, and communication. This will make it easier for front-line workers to collect patience level data, also for patients. Access to digital records will be easier, taking privacy precautions with the consent of patients, and health providers can share important data, which will improve the treatment situation. Bill Gates believes that the kind of decisions and works that have been done under the leadership of PM Modi can become a model for the countries of the world.
