Organised by: Don Bosco Migrant Services (DBMS)

Don Bosco Migrant Services (DBMS) conducted an ABHA Card and DBMS Mobile Application registration camp on 25 January 2025 at Kosappur Village, Thiruvallur District, with the objective of facilitating access to healthcare services and digital support systems for migrant labourers.

The camp was organised in response to the growing need for awareness and registration of migrant workers under the Ayushman Bharat Health Account (ABHA) system, which enables individuals to securely access and manage their health records. Alongside ABHA registration, migrant workers were also introduced to the DBMS Mobile Application, which provides information on welfare schemes, services, and support initiatives available for migrants.

During the program, 40 migrant labourers were successfully registered for ABHA Cards and assisted in downloading and registering on the DBMS App. The DBMS staff played a key role in guiding the workers through the registration process, explaining the benefits of ABHA cards, and demonstrating how to use the DBMS App for accessing services and updates. The Don Bosco Becchi Brothers actively supported the program by assisting migrants, coordinating registrations, and ensuring smooth execution of the camp.

Many migrant workers expressed appreciation for the initiative, as it helped them understand the importance of digital health records and the availability of migrant support services. The interaction also provided DBMS an opportunity to engage with the workers, listen to their concerns, and strengthen trust within the migrant community.

Overall, the registration camp was successfully conducted and effectively reached migrant labourers in Kosappur Village. The initiative contributed to improving migrantsโ€™ access to healthcare, digital inclusion, and awareness of welfare services. DBMS remains committed to continuing such outreach programs to empower migrant workers and ensure their rights, well-being, and dignity are upheld.
