If you are 70 years of age or above, then this news is no less than a boon for you. Now you do not need to go through any paperwork or long process to get a health card under the Ayushman Bharat Yojana. The government has made it clear that such senior citizens can now easily make their digital health card only by using the “Ayushman Bharat Health Account” (ABHA) app.

In this, the Aadhaar card and age data are already linked, so you will not need to provide any separate document. This is a revolutionary change that will make access to health services extremely easy for our elders.

Now if there is an elderly person in your house who is 70 years of age or above, then the entire process of making their health card can now be completed only from the mobile phone. This process is so simple and fast that it will hardly take you a few minutes.

Download ABHA app

First of all, download the “ABHA” (Ayushman Bharat Health Account) app on your smartphone.

This app is available for free on both Google Play Store (for Android users) and Apple Store (for iPhone users).

  • Login with OTP
  • After opening the app, first, enter your mobile number.
  • After this, an OTP (Time Password) will come on your mobile.
  • Login by entering that OTP.

Auto-link of Aadhaar data

After logging in, the information linked to the Aadhaar card (such as name, date of birth, and address) will automatically appear in the app. You will not need to fill it in manually, which will save time and reduce the chances of mistakes.

Generate ABHA number

The app will then ask you to create a 14-digit ABHA number (Health ID). This will be a unique identification number that will keep your health information safe. Only after this number is generated can you get the Golden Health Card under the Ayushman Bharat scheme. This entire process is completely digital so that the elderly can get these facilities from the comfort of their homes.

No need to upload any document for those above 70 years of age

This is the biggest attraction of this facility. There is no need to upload any other document for people aged 70 years or above.

All the information is taken directly from the Aadhaar Card, which is already present in the government database.

Once the ABHA number is generated, your health card will be generated in a few minutes.

You can download this health card in PDF format, or even take a printout of it from any nearest CSC (Common Service Center).

This facility saves time and saves the elderly from unnecessary running around.

Freedom from queues, forms, and photocopies

The government has made this entire process completely digital and easy for the elderly so that they are not deprived of the right to treatment:

  • Now you will not have to stand in long queues.
  • There is no need to fill out paper forms, everything will be done through the app.
  • There is no need to photocopy any documents.

This is truly a game-changer that will make the lives of our elders better. This facility will give them timely and easy access to healthcare services, making their lives healthy and safe. This is a great example of the government’s ‘Digital India’ initiative that is bringing facilities to every section of society.
