Explanation

Let's evaluate the statements regarding Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM): 1. Private and public hospitals must adopt it: The Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM) aims to create a digital health ecosystem and encourages the adoption of its standards and services by healthcare providers, including private and public hospitals. However, participation and adoption are voluntary, not mandatory. Therefore, statement 1 is incorrect. 2. As it aims to achieve universal health coverage, every citizen of India should be part of it ultimately: While the ABDM aims to contribute to universal health coverage by creating a comprehensive digital health infrastructure, participation for individual citizens (e.g., creating a Health ID) is voluntary. It is not mandatory for every citizen to be part of it. Therefore, statement 2 is incorrect. 3. It has seamless portability across the country: A key objective and feature of the ABDM is to enable seamless portability of health records, services, and information across different healthcare providers and geographic locations within the country. This is facilitated through unique Ayushman Bharat Health Accounts (ABHA IDs) and digital health records. This statement is correct.
