Insurance for former athletes
Insurance for former athletes
From Media Indonesia
I was an athlete for the high jump and the long jump in the
1970s until 1988, and I often saw or heard of athletes having
accidents in the field and outside sporting venues.
The attention given to athletes, officials and others
connected with sports by sports organizations in the form of
insurance is truly impressive. I have heard that claims are
settled within 48 hours. In this respect, the PON (National
Games) organization and the insurance company PT Jasaraharja
Putera deserve the highest praise.
I hope that the example set by the PON central board will be
further developed by all sports organizations at every sports
meet and that insurance covering accidents and health is also
continued for former athletes like myself. This would be of great
benefit because when we were still active, we did heavy exercises
which had some unfavorable physical consequences after we stopped
exercising.
