The National Health Authority has achieved a significant milestone with its ABHA-based Scan and Register service (formerly Scan and Share Service) under the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission, crossing 25 crore OPD registrations since its launch in October 2022. This digital service enables patients to complete hospital registration digitally through a simple QR-code scan, eliminating manual registration and paper-based forms while significantly reducing waiting time at registration counters and improving operational efficiency for healthcare providers.
The service is currently operational across 30,800 healthcare facilities spanning 36 States and Union Territories and 756 districts across India. Of these facilities, 24,323 are public healthcare facilities and 6,481 are private healthcare facilities. The service processes nearly 4 lakh registrations daily, demonstrating growing citizen trust in digital healthcare services.
State-wise adoption data shows Bihar leads with over 7.30 crore Scan and Register transactions, followed by Uttar Pradesh (4.09 crore), Andhra Pradesh (3.38 crore), and Jammu & Kashmir (1.39 crore). Among government healthcare facilities, AIIMS New Delhi has generated the highest number of registrations with over 54.29 lakh, followed by AIIMS Bhopal (29.10 lakh), AIIMS Bhubaneswar (23.93 lakh), AIIMS Patna (19.62 lakh), and AIIMS Raipur (18.63 lakh).
The service has been implemented across diverse healthcare facilities including AIIMS, Central Government hospitals, State Government medical colleges, district hospitals, sub-district hospitals, community health centres, speciality hospitals, trust hospitals, ESIC hospitals, railway hospitals, and private healthcare facilities. Dr. Sunil Kumar Barnwal, Chief Executive Officer of National Health Authority, emphasized that this achievement reflects growing trust in India's digital health ecosystem and demonstrates the transformative potential of ABDM in building an interoperable, secure, and citizen-centric digital health ecosystem.
