However, the sector faces significant hurdles including high medical inflation, low insurance literacy, and global economic unpredictability.",
        "content": "<p>Rista Qatrini Manurung, Director of Legal and Compliance at PT AIA\nFinancial, projects that the insurance industry will remain positive\nthis year. She noted that insurance serves as a fundamental societal\nneed for protection, supported by various regulations, and that the\nindustry remains committed to providing the best possible service to the\npublic.<\/p>\n<p>However, she acknowledged that this year presents considerable\nchallenges, particularly due to unpredictable global factors.\nFurthermore, high medical inflation and a lack of insurance literacy\nremain significant obstacles that must be addressed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMedical inflation is higher than other forms of inflation; this is\nan unavoidable fact. Therefore, any increase in premiums must be managed\nwith a balance between the company\u2019s need for sustainable growth and\neconomic affordability and the welfare of our consumers,\u201d Rista stated\nduring the Health Insurance Ecosystem Forum 2026 on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to service enhancement efforts, several ongoing\nchallenges persist, such as operational systems, hospital operational\nreadiness, and challenges regarding medical pathways and controls.\n\u201cThere are still many challenges that can only be resolved through\ncollaboration between hospitals, the Financial Services Authority (OJK),\nthe Ministry of Health, and BPJS,\u201d Rista concluded.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding AIA Financial\u2019s position, Rista reaffirmed the company\u2019s\ncommitment to being a trusted financial partner of choice. Amidst the\nsurge in healthcare cost inflation, the company is striving to provide\noptimal service. \u201cWe always strive to do our best, not by simply raising\npremiums or claim burdens, but by continuing to protect our consumers,\u201d\nshe said.<\/p>\n<p>To achieve this, AIA Financial is implementing several strategies,\nincluding the utilisation of technology to improve service accuracy and\nthe development of appropriate product designs that offer specific\nfeatures tailored to consumer needs.<\/p>",
