Nadda Launches Aarogya Setu 2.0 as National Health App for Citizens

Union Health Minister Jagat Prakash Nadda launched Aarogya Setu 2.0, a redesigned national health application, in New Delhi on 29 June 2026, according to a Press Information Bureau release. The government presents it as a single, citizen-centric gateway to health services. The original app was developed during the COVID-19 pandemic for contact tracing and risk awareness.

The platform is meant to serve as a personal health record for individuals and families, and as a national platform to promote ABDM-enabled services. News agency coverage describes ABHA creation, digital record management and a Scan & Share feature for paperless registration at facilities. A PM-JAY wallet is also listed. For hospitals and clinics, the key question is how quickly registration workflows adjust, and the reporting reviewed does not give a rollout timeline.
