Aarogya Setu 2.0 and Digital Health Initiatives Launched

Union Health Minister J.P. Nadda launched Aarogya Setu 2.0 and several digital-health initiatives on June 29, 2026.

Aarogya Setu has been repurposed as a citizen-facing Personal Health Record application linked to the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM).
The wider launch included platforms such as the National Health Claims Exchange (NHCX) and Unified Health Interface (UHI) to make health services and data more interoperable.
At the time of launch, India had created over 90 crore ABHA accounts and linked more than 100 crore health records.
