Karnataka has also secured the second position under the Health Facility Registry (HFR) and a total of 27,244 facilities have been registered, he said in a statement.
The HFR is a comprehensive repository of health facilities of the country across modern and traditional systems of medicine. It includes both public and private health facilities including hospitals, clinics, diagnostic laboratories and imaging centers, pharmacies, etc.
The registration will enable health facilities to get connected to India's digital health ecosystem and allow their listing on a national platform.
The state has also made significant progress in setting up section and block-wise fast-track counters in outpatient departments using the "scan and share" feature under ABDM, the minister said.
The ABDM aims to develop a comprehensive digital health infrastructure in the country. This will bridge the gap between various stakeholders of the healthcare ecosystem through digital channels, the statement read.
