The Bulletin of the World Health Organization launched its theme issue on Digital Technologies to Improve Health Services, highlighting global innovations in healthcare digitization.
Launched in 2021, ABDM aims to digitize healthcare by creating a shared digital infrastructure for accessible and affordable care. One of its key innovations, the Scan and Share service, is revolutionizing healthcare delivery by reducing outpatient department queues, minimizing waiting times, and lowering errors. Dr. Sutapa from IIHMR Delhi presented the paper “Scan and Share to Register Outpatients: India’s Experience” at the event on 28 January 2025 in Bangkok, Thailand. This event was hosted by the WHO Bulletin in collaboration with the Prince Mahidol Award Conference (PMAC) 2025.
