        "content": "<p>The journey of health insurance in Indonesia has spanned decades and\npassed through various phases of development. Starting from an\norganisation established on 15 July 1968, namely the Health Maintenance\nFund Management Agency (BPDPK), institutional transformation continued\nthrough Perum Husada Bakti and PT Askes (Persero), until becoming BPJS\nKesehatan on 1 January 2014, which manages the National Health Insurance\nProgramme (JKN). On the momentum of its 58th anniversary, BPJS Kesehatan\nreflected on the journey of health insurance provision, which has\nevolved to meet the needs of the community while strengthening service\nquality for JKN participants, which has now reached 285 million people.\nTo date, the JKN Programme has become one of the national strategic\nprogrammes providing health protection for the majority of Indonesia\u2019s\npopulation. Various improvement efforts are frequently undertaken,\nranging from strengthening services at health facilities, developing\ndigital services, simplifying administrative processes, to increasing\nease of access to services for participants. BPJS Kesehatan President\nDirector Prihati Pujowaskito said that the long journey of health\ninsurance provision in Indonesia demonstrates the importance of\ncollaboration among all parties in maintaining the programme\u2019s\ncontinuity. The various achievements are the result of joint work by all\nstakeholders supporting the maintenance of access to health services for\nthe community. \u201cFor 58 years, the provision of health insurance has\nadapted to the times and the needs of the community. That journey has\nled us to the implementation of the JKN Programme, which has now entered\nits 13th year. Thank you to President Prabowo, who always supports the\nsustainability of the JKN Programme. With increasingly strong\ncollaboration, we are optimistic that the JKN Programme can produce a\nhealthy generation for Golden Indonesia 2045,\u201d Pujo said during the BPJS\nKesehatan 58th Anniversary Symposium at the BPJS Kesehatan Head Office\non Wednesday. Pujo also revealed that the sustainability of the JKN\nProgramme is BPJS Kesehatan\u2019s main focus in formulating future\norganisational policy direction and regulation. According to him, the\nvarious transformation steps taken must be able to maintain a balance\nbetween service quality, expansion of participation, and the programme\u2019s\nfinancial health. \u201cCurrently, the JKN Programme claims ratio has reached\n108 percent. This condition shows that the challenge of health financing\nis growing. If a private insurance company might reprice when claims\nreach 95 percent to maintain its business continuity, we hope that\npolicy support through new regulations can strengthen the sustainability\nof the JKN Programme so that its benefits can continue to be felt by the\ncommunity in the long term,\u201d Pujo said. Nevertheless, BPJS Kesehatan\nsees potential for strengthening programme funding through increased\ncompliance and participation coverage. BPJS Kesehatan has also prepared\na strategic plan oriented towards programme sustainability. Various\npolicies will be directed not only at operational aspects but also at\nstrengthening the financial foundation and service quality. To that end,\nBPJS Kesehatan is preparing a strategic plan oriented towards increasing\nparticipation, strengthening funding, and transforming services. One\neffort to be pushed is the integration of JKN Programme participation\nwith public services, accompanied by the development of non-face-to-face\nservices through the use of digital technology so that access to\nservices becomes easier and more efficient. Presidential Chief of Staff\nDudung Abdurachman appreciated BPJS Kesehatan\u2019s role in strengthening\nthe national social protection system through the JKN Programme. In a\nkeynote speech at the BPJS Kesehatan 58th Anniversary Symposium, he said\nthe JKN Programme is a main pillar of public health aligned with the\nnational health development vision and the President\u2019s Asta Cita. \u201cWe\nalso appreciate various BPJS Kesehatan programmes that pay attention to\nthe government\u2019s four priority collaborative programmes. Starting from\nhealth monitoring for students and SPPG officers through P-Care Free\nNutritious Meals (MBG), health checks at three state-run schools, the\ndevelopment of JKN Healthy Villages together with the Red and White\nVillage Cooperative as a health insurance facilitator agent, and the JKN\n3T Programme through cooperation with the Indonesian Navy hospital\nauxiliary ship and the dispatch of health workers to 3T regions,\u201d Dudung\nsaid. However, Dudung reminded that there are still challenges to be\nfaced together, such as the sustainability of social security funding,\nparticipant compliance, and synergy with health facilities. Therefore,\nhe stressed the importance of strong commitment and collaboration\nbetween the government, BPJS Kesehatan, health facilities, and the\ncommunity to maintain the continuity and improve the service quality of\nthe JKN Programme. At the peak moment of its 58th anniversary, BPJS\nKesehatan also successfully obtained ISO 37001 Anti-Bribery Management\nSystem Certification, specifically for the Procurement Function and\nInvestment Function, as well as ISO 37301 Compliance Management System\nCertification. BPJS Kesehatan is committed to strengthening the\norganisational culture of integrity and compliance through the\nimplementation of the ISO 37001-based Anti-Bribery Management System and\nthe ISO 37301-based Compliance Management System.<\/p>",
