        "summary": "BPJS Kesehatan, Indonesia's national health insurance provider, has achieved nearly 99% population coverage after over 12 years of operation, but continues to focus on encouraging inactive participants to fully utilise services and educating the public on their rights and obligations. To broaden outreach, the organisation has partnered with public figures like Raffi Ahmad as an honorary ambassador, emphasising collaborative efforts and the daily handling of around two million health service transactions. Amid rising non-communicable diseases such as hypertension and diabetes among young people, BPJS Kesehatan advocates for preventive measures and healthy lifestyles, highlighting health as a fundamental need and foundation for the nation's future.",
        "content": "<p>JAKARTA \u2013 BPJS Kesehatan continues to strengthen service\ntransformation and cross-sector collaboration to improve the quality of\nnational health coverage. Over more than a decade, the National Health\nInsurance (JKN) programme has shown significant achievements with\nparticipant coverage nearly reaching the entire Indonesian population.\nMember of the BPJS Kesehatan Supervisory Board, Rukijo, stated that the\nlong journey of BPJS Kesehatan since starting operations in 2014 has\nproduced various advancements, both in terms of services and public\nparticipation levels. \u201cIn this journey of more than 12 years, we have\nachieved many advancements. Currently, almost 99 percent of Indonesia\u2019s\npopulation are BPJS Kesehatan participants,\u201d said Rukijo in Jakarta on\nThursday (23\/4\/2026). \u201cThere is still homework for us, namely\nencouraging participants who are not yet active to truly utilise their\nparticipation. So far, many only process BPJS when they need health\nservices,\u201d he explained. Rukijo also emphasised the importance of\neducating the public about rights and obligations as participants, so\nthat the benefits of health coverage can be felt optimally. \u201cWe want the\nentire community to understand how this health coverage works, so they\ncan play an active role and receive more comprehensive services,\u201d he\nadded. To expand the reach of education, BPJS Kesehatan is collaborating\nwith various partners, including public figures. One of them is\nappointing Raffi Ahmad as the Honorary Ambassador of BPJS Kesehatan.\n\u201cThis programme is built with a spirit of mutual cooperation. Currently,\naround two million health service transactions occur every day, showing\nhigh utilisation of services by the public,\u201d he said. He also\nhighlighted the increasing public awareness of health services, which\nimpacts the high utilisation of health facilities. However, on the other\nhand, new challenges have emerged, particularly the increasing cases of\nnon-communicable diseases among young people. \u201cWe see an increase in\ncases of hypertension and diabetes among the youth. This is a shared\nconcern to encourage promotional and preventive efforts,\u201d he stressed.\n\u201cI want to convey to the youth that living healthy starts now, don\u2019t\nwait until you\u2019re sick. The JKN programme is very important because\nhealth is a basic need for everyone,\u201d said the President\u2019s Special Envoy\nfor Youth Development and Arts Workers. He also shared his views on\nhealthy lifestyles that can be adopted by young people, from mindset to\nphysical activities. According to Raffi, maintaining health not only\nimpacts individuals but also becomes an important foundation for the\nfuture of the nation\u2019s generation. \u201cLiving healthy starts from a\npositive mindset, good eating patterns, and regular exercise. I myself\nam still active in running and have participated in several world\nmarathons,\u201d he asserted.<\/p>",
