ABDM describes a federated architecture in which health records remain with their providers and are exchanged securely with patient consent; central services hold registries rather than a national record lake.
What this does not establish
ABDM is not accurately characterized as a centralized national repository of all health records.
Counterevidence & uncertainty
Implementation quality, provider digitization, consent comprehension and interoperability can differ from architectural intent.
What would change the reading
Update on policy/API amendment, data-location change, consent-artifact revision or authoritative architecture correction.
