BPJS Ketenagakerjaan President Director visits accident victim in Bekasi
Jakarta (ANTARA) - BPJS Ketenagakerjaan’s President Director Saiful Hidayat visited two participants who are undergoing intensive care at RS EMC Pekayon, Bekasi City, to ensure the delivery of social security for workers is optimal and to reaffirm the state’s presence in protecting workers who face work-related risks.
‘We want to ensure Mr. Reki and his family do not face this situation alone. This is evidence of the state’s presence. BPJS Ketenagakerjaan not only processes claims, but actively goes out to provide assistance, ensuring participants receive the best services quickly and without obstacles,’ Saiful said after the visit on Saturday.
During the visit, Saiful was accompanied by Service Director Trisna Sonjaya to directly observe the conditions of the two participants, namely Reki Muhamad Saprial (62) and Danisha Talitha Zahwa (12), who are undergoing medical treatment at the hospital.
Reki, who works as a ride-hailing driver, was involved in a road traffic accident on 4 February 2026 while at work. He fell from his motorcycle and was dragged under a truck, resulting in injuries to his left leg.
During treatment, Reki has undergone two operations, including amputation and management of subsequent complications. All medical costs are borne through BPJS Ketenagakerjaan’s Work Accident Security (JKK) programme.
Reki has been listed as an active participant since November 2025 through a protection programme for vulnerable workers initiated by the West Java Provincial Government under Governor Dedi Mulyadi. The programme aims to broaden social security protection for informal workers and vulnerable groups in the region.
Saiful explained that under the JKK programme, workers who suffer a work-related accident receive treatment costs without a ceiling cap according to medical needs until they recover or enter the Return to Work (RTW) phase.
He said the benefits of social protection for workers are not just numbers, but real protection for the continuation of workers’ lives and their families.
Saiful also urged workers, especially informal and vulnerable workers, to ensure they are registered as BPJS Ketenagakerjaan participants.
The appeal aligns with government policy providing a 50 percent premium relief for the JKK and Death Benefit (JKM) programmes for non-salaried participants through Government Regulation Number 50 of 2025.
According to him, the financing support from BPJS Ketenagakerjaan enables hospitals to provide comprehensive care from medical actions, recovery to patient rehabilitation.
