On 12th October 2025, Don Bosco Migrant Services (DBMS) organized an ABHA Card Registration and DBMS App Awareness Program at Kattabakkam, with active support from the DBMS staff. The program aimed to promote awareness among migrant workers about digital health access and the importance of utilizing online tools for their welfare and healthcare needs.
The session began with a brief introduction about the objectives of the program, emphasizing the significance of maintaining digital health records through the Ayushman Bharat Health Account (ABHA) Card. Participants were guided step-by-step on how to register for the ABHA Card, link their health records, and access their medical history digitally. This initiative helps ensure that every individual has a unique health ID, making medical services easier to access across hospitals and clinics.
Following this, the team demonstrated the DBMS mobile application, highlighting its user-friendly features and benefits. The app provides essential information on welfare schemes, health services, emergency assistance, and entitlements for migrant workers. Through practical examples and interactive discussions, the staff explained how the app supports migrants in accessing timely support and connecting with DBMS programs.
A total of 15 migrant workers benefited from the program. They actively participated, clarified their doubts, and shared their experiences regarding access to healthcare and social services. The participants expressed appreciation for DBMS’s continuous efforts in empowering the migrant community through technology-based awareness and support initiatives.
The session concluded with words of encouragement from the organizing team, reinforcing the importance of maintaining good health and utilizing digital tools to improve quality of life. The participants were served light refreshments, marking the end of an informative and impactful session that combined awareness, empowerment, and community engagement.
