National Helpline for Senior Citizens

Posted On: 29 SEP 2021 5:57PM by PIB Delhi

A study was conducted to understand and assess the needs of the elderly, the existing helplines in the country and also some international helplines for senior citizens. Based on the study, the need for a helpline at a national level was recognized. Government of Telangana and Tata Trusts piloted the helpline in Telangana between March 2019 and September 2020.

Based on this experience, MOSJE decided to establish state helplines at each state level and have a single call management platform and unique number (14567) that will enable services for the senior citizens through a National level structure. Thus Elder Line was conceptualised.

Elder Line will operate on all seven days of the week from 8 AM to 8 PM since it is categorised under non-emergency service and extension of working hours will be backed by findings and requirement.

National Implementing Agency (an empowered Committee) set up by MOSJE along with NISD (National Institute for Social Defence) is currently hosting the Elder Line along with the States. Operationally, the state agencies will be working closely with all state departments and district functionaries to deliver services. This is a collaborative approach between MOSJE, State departments, Identified state agency, NGOs, local senior citizens group, voluntary groups etc.

Elder line has two key components, a connect centre that has officers who empathise with the senior citizen and understand the problem faced by the elder supported by a strong field support that takes care of “on the field” interventions that are required out of the service requested by the senior citizen. Services offered to senior citizens are broadly categorised into four services:

1. Information– Doctors, Hospitals, Old Age Homes, and Activity centres etc.
2. Guidance– Legal, Maintenance act related, Pension related queries
3. Support– Life, anxiety, relationship management and emotional support
4. Intervention– Direct (addressing abuse of elders and conducting rescue of homeless and abandoned elders) and Indirect (building ecosystem)

To operationalise Elder Line, following readiness conditions have been established: –

1. State identifies agency to operationalise helpline through a pre-defined process
2. Physical and software infrastructure is procured and installed
3. Resources are identified and capacity built
4. Information is collected and tabulated as Knowledge Bank for all areas which might be of use to senior citizens
5. Government and non-government agreements are made with like-minded organizations to walk along with the agency to assist elders
6. A dry run is conducted to identify and re work on any possible bottle necks
7. Elder line in numbers: –
   Toll-free number: – 14567
   Work hours: – 8 AM to 8 PM
   Work days: – All 7 days

National Helpline for Sr Citizen (Elder line-14567) has been made operational on toll free number 14567 in 06 States (Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Karnataka, and Uttar Pradesh) for the following services to Sr. Citizens:

1. Information– Doctors, Hospitals, Old Age Homes, and Activity centres etc.
2. Guidance– Legal, Maintenance act related, Pension related queries
3. Support– Life, anxiety, relationship management and emotional support
4. Intervention– Direct (addressing abuse of elders and conducting rescue of homeless and abandoned elders) and Indirect (building ecosystem)

Elder Line is a National Helpline for Senior Citizens (NHSC) set up by the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment in collaboration with National Institute of Social Defence (NISD) and State Governments. National Implementing Agency (an empowered Committee) set up by MOSJE along with NISD (National Institute for Social Defence) is currently hosting the Elder Line along with the States. Operationally, the state agencies will be working closely with all state departments and district functionaries to deliver services. Elder Line 14567 is a toll-free number open 12 Hours a day (8:00 AM to 8:00 PM), that provides free information, guidance, emotional support, field intervention in cases of abuse & rescues in order to improve the quality of life of senior citizens. In case of emergencies like pandemic, this helpline can support senior citizens with the right and on-time information for medical needs, emotional support and other associated needs in collaboration with all the state departments.

ABDM – Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission – FAQs – Know About ABDM

 ABDM – Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission – FAQs – Know About ABDM

The Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM), is a Government of India initiative, aimed at developing the backbone for a unified digital health infrastructure. Among other objectives, ABDM seeks to bridge the gap amongst multiple stakeholders that are a part of the healthcare ecosystem.

The key components of the PM-DHM include a Health ID — unique 14-digit health identification number — for every citizen that will also work as their health account. The health ID will enable access and exchange of health records of citizens with their consent.

The Health ID will be created by using a person’s basic details and mobile number or Aadhaar number. The personal health records can be linked and viewed with the help of a mobile application, a Healthcare Professionals Registry (HPR), and a Healthcare Facilities Registry (HFR).

Frequently Asked Questions on ABDM

Q1. What is ABDM ?

The Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM) aims to develop the backbone necessary to support the integrated digital health infrastructure of the country. It aims to bridge the existing gap amongst different stakeholders of healthcare ecosystem through digital highways.

Q2. What is a Health ID ?

Anyone who wishes to participate in ABDM and have their health records available digitally must start by creating a Health ID. Health ID is a randomly generated 14 digit number used for the purposes of uniquely identifying persons, authenticating them, and threading their health records (only with their informed consent) across multiple systems and stakeholders.

Q3. What is a PHR Address ?

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.

Q4. What is HIE – CM ?

Health Information Exchange & Consent Manager (HIE-CM) refers to consent manager that enables consent management, and sharing & linking of personal health records for a user. ABDM has rolled out its own HIE-CM (Health Records Application). You can use your Health ID to sign up on the HIE-CM (Health Records Application). Multiple consent managers are likely to be available for patients to choose from in the near future.

Q5. How do I get a Health ID ?

You can get a Health ID by self-registration on the Health ID web portal or by downloading ABDM Health Records application from the Google Playstore. You can register here ABDM Health ID or download the Mobile application here Health Records. You may also request for creation of your Health ID at a participating health facility, which may include public/private hospitals, community health centre, health and wellness centres across India.

Q6. What all do I need to register for a Health ID ?

For Health ID creation through Mobile Number- Name, Year of Birth, Gender, Address, Mobile Number. For Health ID creation through Aadhaar- Name, Year of Birth, Gender, Address, Mobile Number, Aadhaar Number

Q7. Is Aadhaar mandatory to create a Health ID ?

No. The process of generation of Health ID involves voluntary usage of Aadhaar. If you do not want to use your Aadhaar for Health ID creation, you can simply use your Mobile Number accompanied with self declared information.

Q8. My Mobile Number is not linked to my Aadhaar Number. How do I authenticate my Aadhaar for Health ID creation ?

If you use your Aadhaar Number to create your Health ID on the Health ID portal, an OTP will be sent to the Mobile Number linked to your Aadhaar. If your Aadhaar is not linked to any mobile number, it is suggested that you visit the nearest participating facility, and opt for biometric authentication using Aadhaar Number. After successful authentication, you will obtain a Health ID at the facility itself.

Q9. Can I use ID documents other than Aadhaar for Health ID creation ?

Currently, ABDM supports Health ID creation via Mobile or Aadhaar. ABDM will soon roll out features that will support Health ID creation with other ID documents such as PAN card, Driving License, etc. in assisted mode at participating health facilities

Q10. Why can’t Aadhaar be used as a Health ID and why is an independent identification number required ?

The Section 7 of the Aadhaar and Other Laws (Amendment) Act, 2019 clearly states that “Every Aadhaar number holder to establish his identity, may voluntarily use his Aadhaar number in physical or electronic form by way of authentication or offline verification, or in such other form as may be notified, in such manner as may be specified by regulations.” The Aadhaar Act provides for the use of Aadhaar number as proof of identity of a person, subject to authentication.

However, the mandate of mandatory linkage of Aadhaar is restricted to availing only Direct Benefits Transfers (DBTs) and it can’t be for any other purpose. Thus, Aadhaar number holders may only voluntarily use Aadhaar Number to establish their identity. Therefore, a distinct, independent, unique identifier is required to be identified as a Health ID and hence, the health ID is different from the Aadhar ID and one should not be confused for the other. In the pilot, Health ID can be created and linked to the Aadhaar or an individual’s mobile number, as per his/her convenience.

 

ABDM is working towards introducing more ID documents to allow users to create their Health ID using other ID documents such as Driving License, PAN Card, Passport etc.Currently, Health ID is also linked to a PHR Application using easy to remember Health ID alias / PHR Address (e.g. xyz@ndhm) which enables a user to access/share health records and provide/revoke consent for data sharing. Going forward, it is proposed to make e-KYC mandatory for creation of Health ID and discontinue Health ID creation via mobile as a move towards creating a trustable and verified ID.

Q11. Is my Health ID unique?

Your Health ID is created by using your basic details in addition to your Mobile Number or Aadhaar Number. Your Health ID will be unique to you, and you will have the option to link all your health records to the Health ID. You can also choose to create multiple IDs to link different sets of health records with different Health IDs, however, it is recommended that you create only one Health ID.

Q12. Why does ABDM allow a user to have multiple health IDs ?

ABDM associates high value with a user’s privacy. ABDM believes that users are rightful custodians of their data, and can make rational decisions associated with its use. Given that healthcare is a sensitive subject, ABDM does not want to restrict users from linking different sets of health data with different Health IDs.

For instance, if a user wants to use a separate Health ID to access data related to their sexual history, ABDM will allow for such use.However, in order to establish a better continuum of care, it is recommended that users create & use only one Health ID. A unified longitudinal health history linked to a single Health ID can lead to informed healthcare decisions for a user

Q13. How long will the registration take ?

Complete registration takes less than 10 minutes as you are only required to fill your basic details,an authenticate your Mobile Number or Aadhaar Number

Q14. Do I have to submit any physical documents ?

As part of the existing process, you are not required to submit any physical documents anywhere. Enrolment of Health ID is paperless and hassle free. ABDM will soon be rolling out a feature to support Health ID creation in low resource settings in a paper based manner. However, the scope of the said process may be restricted only to delivery of government health benefit schemes

Q15. Are my health records safe and secure ?

ABDM does not store any of your health records. Your health records are stored with healthcare information providers as per their retention policies, and are shared over the ABDM network with encryption mechanisms only after your express consent

Q16. What do I do if I forget my password ?

You may login to your Health ID through Mobile OTP or Aadhaar linked Mobile OTP, as applicable, and set a new password. In case of persisting issues, please contact us at ndhm@nha.gov.in or call us on our toll free number – 1800-11-4477 / 14477

Q17. I have entered incorrect Password three times, and I am unable to login now ?

If you have been locked out of your Health ID account via Password, you can try other modes of authentication for login. One method of authentication (Password/ Mobile OTP/ Aadhaar OTP) gets disabled for 12 hours) on three consecutive incorrect attempts at a time. In this case, you can use the remaining methods to login, as applicable. However, you will not be able to login for 12 hours after you have been locked out from all three methods of login.

Q18. I no longer want to participate in ABDM. Can I delete my Health ID ?

ABDM now supports a feature that enables any participating user to opt out of the ABDM ecosystem. On availing the feature, a user can permanently delete or temporarily deactivate their Health ID.

In case of deactivation, a user can later choose to reactivate their Health ID.

On deletion, your Health ID will be permanently deleted, along with all your demographic details. You will not be able to retrieve any information tagged to your Health ID in future.
