Live Mint  

Under the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission, the Centre is repurposing Aarogya Setu and CoWIN, the two digital health systems that were successfully utilised to monitor and manage the Covid-19 outbreak. With coronavirus “hopefully” no longer posing a threat, the application is being modified to address India's digital health concerns, Sharma said. The digital mission has reached the milestone of 10 million digitally-linked health records within a year of its debut, with over 2.7 million records linked every day. This marks a significant turning point in the nation's effort to digitise health records, Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya said on September 25.
