Question

Which of the following is a key problem ABDM aims to solve by digitizing records?

• A. Long waiting times in hospitals
• B. Loss of medical history
• C. High cost of medical equipment
• D. Shortage of healthcare professionals

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Loss of medical history

• The core problem ABDM solves is the loss or inaccessibility of a patient's complete medical history (paper records get lost or damaged). By linking all health records to a unique ABHA ID and storing them digitally, ABDM ensures a patient's entire medical history is available to doctors anywhere, anytime, with the patient's consent, leading to better and more informed care.
