The AMK Core Person Profile defines a standardized representation of a real-world individual within the Nepal health system. It supports identity resolution, demographic capture, and identity assurance across Patient, Practitioner, and RelatedPerson records. This profile enables reliable identity verification, deduplication, and interoperability across national digital health programs.
