All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) New Delhi on Sunday announced the successful implementation of the Ayushman Bharat Health Account-based scan and share facility (ABHA) aimed to cut down waiting time for Outpatient Department (OPD) and long queues at one of India's premier healthcare institutions.

ABHA Mobile application significantly reduced waiting times and streamlined the registration process for patients visiting the hospital, enhancing the overall patient experience at its OPD.
Dr Rima Dada, Professor-in-charge, Media Cell, informed that patients who had to wait for a longer period at AIIMS had to endure long queues at OPD registration counters, resulting in discomfort and inconvenience.
