💡 Analysis & Explanation
Policy Intent Analysis ▼
The Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM) functions on an opt-in basis. Statement 1 is incorrect because there is no mandatory compulsion for private or public hospitals to adopt it; it is voluntary. Statement 2 is incorrect as citizens are not forced to generate a health ID; participation is strictly based on individual consent.
Portability Feature ▼
Statement 3 is correct. The digital health infrastructure is built on open standards, deliberately ensuring that a patient's medical records are securely portable and accessible across the entire country with proper consent.
Conclusion ▼
Only the portability feature is a correct description.
