The initiative aims to address the critical challenges of accessibility, affordability, and safe healthcare delivery by leveraging digital solutions

Catalyst Management Services (CMS) and Piramal Foundation have released a comprehensive video knowledge asset as a Conversations’ Cafe Vlog on the Ayushman Digital Bharat Mission to enhance awareness and promote stakeholder engagement. 

Digital Bharat Collaborative (DBC), a part of the Piramal Foundation, has been working across multiple states with the private and public health systems to accelerate the creation of a national digital health ecosystem in India. The initiative aims to address the critical challenges of accessibility, affordability, and safe healthcare delivery by leveraging digital solutions.

Priyamvada Tiwari, Associate Director, Platform & Policy, Catalyst Management Services commented, “The learnings from the initiative led by the Piramal Foundation will serve as a critical resource for understanding the nuances of digital health implementation, exploring use cases, and navigating the multi-stakeholder ecosystem that ABDM represents. The knowledge asset aims to guide policymakers, healthcare providers, and development partners in effectively contributing to the ABDM framework.”

"Since the inception of our efforts, our focus has been on supporting the digitisation of healthcare across India. We are working with state mission offices in states like Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Assam, and Chhattisgarh to further these efforts, particularly in onboarding private healthcare facilities to the digital ecosystem. Creating a digitally integrated health ecosystem with a knowledge partner like CMS will support this initiative to reach the roots of India," said Anvesh T, Program Director - Digital Bharat Collaborative (a part of Piramal Foundation).
