The updated platform will integrate services related to Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PM-JAY), enabling users to search empanelled hospitals, access the AB PM-JAY wallet and view Ayushman CAPF policy details. Alongside this upgrade, the government will launch several complementary digital health initiatives on June 29, 2026.
These include the Enhanced Ayushman App, the Ayushman Sarathi WhatsApp chatbot, the National Health Claims Exchange (NHCX), the Drug Registry and CLCI standards, and the e-Sushrut Clinic.
