4) What is the role of National Health Authority in the Health Facility Registry?
National Health Authority (NHA) is implementing the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission which focuses on developing the technological backbone for India ‘s digital health ecosystem. Health Facility Registry (HFR) is a key building block of Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission under the purview of NHA. HFR will serve as the single digital source of truth for health facilities registered on ABDM platform and verified/ self-declared by respective entities.
Unlike councils for doctors, there is no single body which has updated repository of all healthcare facilities in the states or India. Therefore, HFR will follow slightly a different approach which is different from that for HPR to compile the registry. Self-declaration of the health facility and its verification by multiple verifiers is allowed in Health Facility Registry. Users are advised to see these details (self-declared or verified) about information available on the HFR.
