        "content": "<p>Ridwan Djapong (68), a resident of Tintingan Village, Pagimana\nDistrict, Banggai Regency, Central Sulawesi, said the National Health\nInsurance (JKN) programme provided protection while he fought heart\ndisease. \u201cThe illness I suffer from often recurs suddenly. Shortness of\nbreath and chest pain have caused me to need intensive treatment and\nreferral to hospital several times,\u201d said Ridwan in Banggai on Sunday.\nIn such conditions, Ridwan had few options other than to seek medical\nhelp immediately. \u201cIf I get shortness of breath and chest pain, I cannot\ndo much. I must be examined by a doctor immediately. Sometimes I am\nreferred to hospital for further treatment,\u201d he said. He explained that\nbefore understanding the benefits of the JKN programme, his biggest\nworry was the cost of treatment. According to Ridwan, suffering from\nheart disease requires routine check-ups, periodic examinations, and\nregular medication, which would cost a lot. Since registering as a JKN\nparticipant in the Contribution Assistance Recipient (PBI) segment,\nRidwan has felt calmer because all health services he undergoes, both at\nfirst-level health facilities and when referred to hospital, are covered\naccording to applicable regulations. \u201cAlhamdulillah, I am registered as\na PBI participant. So every check-up and when I am referred, I do not\nhave to think about the cost. I can focus on treatment so that my\ncondition is maintained,\u201d he expressed gratefully. According to Ridwan,\nthe JKN programme brings great benefits to people with economic\nlimitations because everyone can access health services without worry.\n\u201cThe existence of the JKN programme means health services can be\naccessed by anyone. More and more people are being helped by this JKN,\u201d\nsaid Ridwan. Ridwan also appreciated the service he received during\ntreatment, where health workers gave good attention and explanations\nabout his condition, so he understood the importance of maintaining a\nhealthy lifestyle and having regular check-ups.<\/p>",
