Your Health Record
The doctor's memory is not yours
The file of your own medical history, and who is actually keeping it.
Back
Most families carry their medical history in a plastic bag of loose reports. When it goes missing, tests get repeated and patterns get lost. ABHA, the Ayushman Bharat Health Account, gives you a number that links records across hospitals with your consent. The number is free, and the consent is yours to give or refuse each time.
- Three things worth knowing before an emergency: blood group, allergies, and any regular medicine. Write them down for every person in the house.
- Old reports have value. A blood test says far more when it sits beside the same test from three years ago than it does on its own.
