National Digital Health Mission to be expanded

The government has decided to expedite the expansion of operations under the National Digital Health Mission, including the rollout of a unified health interface (UHI) which will enable people to use the digital platform for a host of health services, including online medical consultation and booking of laboratory tests. Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday chaired a meeting to review the National Digital Health Mission (NDHM). He had announced the launch of NDHM in his Independence Day speech last year.
