NHA Gateway Integration & ABDM Certification Support

The NHA gateway is the front door to India’s digital health network — and certification is how you get the keys. Medi4u handles ABDM sandbox setup, gateway integration, M1/M2/M3 test cases, HFR/HPR registration, and production go-live so you clear certification on the first attempt.

From Sandbox to Production — Without the Guesswork

Most ABDM projects don't stall on coding — they stall on gateway plumbing and certification: session tokens, callback URLs, webhook signatures, test case evidence, registry onboarding. Medi4u has taken 100+ platforms through the NHA certification process, and we know exactly what the auditors expect at every milestone.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the NHA / ABDM gateway?

The ABDM gateway is the central switch operated by the National Health Authority that routes all API traffic between HIPs, HIUs, and the consent manager. Every ABDM-integrated system authenticates with the gateway using client credentials and signed tokens.

What is the ABDM certification process?

You develop against the ABDM sandbox, execute NHA’s functional test cases for each milestone (M1 ABHA, M2 HIP, M3 HIU), submit evidence, and receive certification — after which production credentials are issued. Medi4u manages this entire cycle. See Milestones M1, M2, M3 Explained.

What are HFR and HPR?

The Health Facility Registry (HFR) is the national directory of hospitals, clinics, and labs; the Healthcare Professional Registry (HPR) covers doctors and nurses. Registration in both is required for go-live — we complete these on your behalf.

How long does NHA certification take?

With a ready integration, certification typically takes 1–3 weeks depending on NHA scheduling. Our pre-tested flows and ABDM Connector make first-attempt clearance the norm.

Do you provide post go-live support?

Yes — production monitoring, gateway session management, spec-change updates, and 24/7 incident support are part of every Medi4u engagement.
