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.
