Lucknow: The common man is getting high-level health services in UP government hospitals. Free medicines and quality treatment are being provided. This is the reason why UP is at the top in OPD registration across the country. This is what the state’s Deputy CM Brajesh Pathak said.
The dashboard data of Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM) shows that Uttar Pradesh is at the top and Tamil Nadu is at the bottom in online OPD registration in government hospitals.
In the last two years, about 4.7 crore online registrations were done for Outpatient Department (OPD) through Scan and Share service under the National Health Authority (NHA). Out of these, 1.24 crore OPD tokens were issued from Uttar Pradesh alone. At the same time, in states like Tamil Nadu and Kerala, less than 10,000 OPD registration tokens were given through this service.
Deputy CM Brajesh Pathak said that according to the data displayed on the dashboard of Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM) till September 5, Andhra Pradesh is at the second position after Uttar Pradesh in online OPD registration, where 81 lakh patients took online tokens for treatment in OPD.
