Rajasthan ranks 2nd in India with 7.19 crore ABHA IDs under ABDM
Synopsis
Rajasthan has quietly become India's second-largest digital health state, with 7.19 crore ABHA IDs issued under ABDM. As the national tally crosses 90 crore in 2026, the real test shifts from sign-ups to whether these health records are actually used at the point of care — across hospitals, labs and rural clinics.
Key Takeaways
Rajasthan ranks second nationally with over 7.19 crore ABHA IDs created under ABDM.
India's total ABHA accounts crossed 90 crore in 2026 , up from 14.7 crore in 2021 .
The 14-digit ABHA Health ID stores lab reports, prescriptions and diagnostic records securely with patient consent.
The Integrated Hospital Management System (IHMS) links EHRs with ABHA IDs to enable continuity of care.
Growth trajectory: 30.4 crore (2022) , 50.6 crore (2023) , 72.2 crore (2024) , 84.5 crore (2025) .
Rajasthan has emerged as the second-ranked state in India's digital health rollout, with more than 7.19 crore Ayushman Bharat Health Account (ABHA) IDs created under the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM), officials said. The milestone comes as the nationwide ABHA tally crossed 90 crore in 2026, a defining marker in the Centre's push for a citizen-centric digital healthcare ecosystem.
Key Developments
According to data released under the ABDM, ABHA account creation has grown steadily — from 14.7 crore in 2021 to 30.4 crore in 2022, 50.6 crore in 2023, 72.2 crore in 2024, 84.5 crore in 2025, and now past the 90-crore mark in 2026. Rajasthan's 7.19 crore count places it just behind the national leader, officials confirmed.
What the ABHA ID Does
The ABHA ID is a unique 14-digit digital health identity that lets citizens link, store and share medical records with consent. Laboratory reports, prescriptions, diagnostic data and information on pre-existing conditions can be securely accessed through the platform, reducing the need to carry physical documents during hospital visits.
Why It Matters for Rajasthan
Under Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma, the state has been pairing healthcare expansion with digital adoption to improve accessibility, transparency and efficiency. Health officials said ABHA is now a key pillar of the state's effort to build longitudinal health records across hospitals, clinics, laboratories and digital health platforms — a shift that could materially change continuity of care for rural patients who often switch providers.
The Tech Backbone
Supporting the rollout is the Integrated Hospital Management System (IHMS), an ABDM-compliant software stack that links Electronic Health Records (EHRs) with ABHA IDs. Officials said this allows healthcare providers to access prior history after obtaining patient consent, helping doctors make more informed treatment decisions.
What's Next
Officials believe further uptake will strengthen Rajasthan's digital healthcare infrastructure across both urban and rural pockets. With the national base now past 90 crore, attention is shifting from account creation to actual usage — whether ABHA records are consistently accessed at the point of care, and whether private providers integrate at scale.
Point of View
But account creation has always been the easy part of India's digital health story. The harder question — and one rarely asked in official briefings — is utilisation: how many of these 7.19 crore Rajasthan IDs are actively linked to live medical records, and how many private hospitals are pushing EHRs into them? Without that, ABHA risks becoming a high-volume registry rather than a functioning health stack. The state's next benchmark should be measured in records exchanged, not IDs issued.
