The central government think tank NITI Aayog has unveiled the blueprint of 'National Health Stack' (NHS), a shared digital healthcare infrastructure. The blueprint is in line with the implementation of the Centre’s flagship scheme Ayushman Bharat and other public healthcare programmes in the country. According to a consultation paper titled ‘National Health Stack Strategy an Approach’, the National Health Stack will facilitate the collection of comprehensive healthcare data across the country. This will allow policymakers to further build their projections around upcoming outcomes, experiment with new services as well as fill the existing gaps in the Indian healthcare industry among others.

Other Key Benefits Of NHS: -allow states to incorporate horizontal and vertical expansion of scheme, -avoid duplication of efforts, -enable ease of adoption for those without systems or with dysfunctional systems in place, -continue using their own state system while integrating with Rashtriya Swasthya Suraksha Mission (RSSM)via Application Programming Interface (APIs).
