Hathras district in Uttar Pradesh has created about 14.10 lakh Ayushman Bharat Health Account (ABHA) IDs under the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM), covering nearly 75 per cent of its estimated 18.74 lakh population. Officials reviewed the progress at a district-level ABDM workshop on Mathura Road on Wednesday, 4 November 2026, with state ABDM team members and local health administrators present.
According to local reports, every one of the district’s 293 government health facilities is now registered on the Health Facility Registry (HFR). Of 489 private medical establishments, 352 — about 72 per cent — are also on HFR, and organisers appealed to the remaining private hospitals and nursing homes to complete registration and adopt ABDM-compliant software. Primary coverage of the workshop was carried by Amar Ujala (5 November 2026); a parallel account in Live Hindustan misstated the population base as 8.74 lakh — eHealth uses Amar Ujala’s 18.74 lakh figure, which aligns with the stated ~75 per cent ABHA coverage.
Who attended the Hathras ABDM workshop
The workshop was held on Mathura Road. Present were Chief Development Officer P.N. Dixit, Chief Medical Officer Dr Ved Prakash, Bagla Joint District Hospital CMS Dr Surya Prakash, District Women’s Hospital CMS Dr Dinesh Mohan Saxena, and IMA secretary Dr Bharat Yadav. State ABDM divisional coordinator Shriprasad and specialist Rahul Tripathi represented the state team, alongside district nodal officers, ACMOs, MOICs and National Health Mission staff.
What Hathras has achieved under ABDM
Beyond ABHA creation and HFR registration, officials said 16 major hospitals and community health centres in the district are running e-Hospital or e-Sushrut digital systems. Bagla Joint District Hospital was recognised as a model facility under the mission. Performers honoured at the workshop included Dr Surya Prakash (Bagla as model district hospital), Dr Junaid of UPHC Sadabad (100 per cent ABHA Best OPD), Dr Prakash Mohan of Sahpau (98 per cent online OPD), and the director of ABG Hospital for private-sector ABDM adoption. Certificates were also given to other well-performing medical officers.
The district’s push sits alongside other state ABDM milestones tracked by eHealth — including Patna topping Bihar with 1.13 crore ABDM-linked health records and Tripura’s paperless government-hospital deadline from 10 November 2026. Nationally, India has already crossed 100 crore health records linked to ABHA, while citizens are being moved from the discontinued ABHA app to Aarogya Setu 2.0.
Why PM-JAY and ABDM linkage matters
Speakers stressed closer coordination between Ayushman Bharat – Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PM-JAY) and ABDM. Linking a patient’s ABHA ID to treatment, they said, would keep investigations, care and discharge as digital records — reducing the need to carry paper files between facilities and improving transparency. Programme details for the national digital-health stack remain on the official ABDM website.
Vote of thanks at the Hathras workshop was delivered by Dr Danveer Singh, in-charge medical superintendent of Sadabad; the programme was conducted by district health education officer Chatur Singh.
