National Police Chief Orders Police Health Facilities to Serve Workers Enrolled in BPJS Kesehatan
National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo has requested that health facilities owned by the Indonesian National Police (Polri) provide healthcare services to workers enrolled in the BPJS Kesehatan national health insurance scheme. General Sigit said this represents Polri’s commitment to assisting the working class.
“Regarding the health facilities currently managed under BPJS Kesehatan, perhaps the Head of the Medical and Health Centre and our fellow workers who wish to make use of our health facilities can also be assisted,” the Police Chief said during his address at the 53rd anniversary celebration of the Confederation of Indonesian Trade Unions (KSPI), held at PT Victory Chinglu Indonesia in Pasar Kemis, Tangerang Regency, on Monday (16/2/2026).
The Police Chief instructed Head of Polri’s Medical and Health Centre Inspector General Asep Hendradiana to review which police-owned health facilities could assist workers enrolled in BPJS seeking medical treatment. General Sigit said this was intended to give BPJS-enrolled workers more options for accessing healthcare.
“Please check so that there are more choices available for our fellow workers regarding their health matters,” the Police Chief said.
“For fellow workers receiving BPJS services, please feel free to use Polri’s health facilities across Indonesia, particularly in areas where trade union members require such services,” he explained.
General Sigit stated that this represents Polri’s commitment to providing maximum assistance to the working class. The move also serves as Polri’s follow-up action in supporting the government’s programme to deliver healthcare services to all members of society.
“I believe this is one form of our commitment to also provide services in matters that we must deliver. And this is also a government programme that we are following up on,” the Police Chief said.
Commitment to Championing Workers’ Rights
The Police Chief also ordered Polri’s Labour Affairs Desk to continue providing assistance to all workers, particularly those who have fallen victim to mass layoffs.
“We all want whatever happens to be mitigated as much as possible so that it does not impact our fellow workers. The labour affairs desk must truly provide the best possible service for fellow workers, especially those affected by layoffs,” General Sigit said in his address.
The Police Chief said Polri, through its Labour Affairs Desk, continues to work on mitigating the impact on workers to prevent layoffs. Beyond this, the Police Chief also instructed his ranks to consistently provide assistance and maximum service when workers are fighting for their rights.
General Sigit explained that Polri is committed to helping maintain the investment climate. He reiterated Polri’s commitment to championing workers’ rights, with the aim of achieving welfare for the working class.
“On this 53rd anniversary, our hope is that the struggle of all our fellow workers to achieve worker welfare naturally becomes our shared endeavour. Therefore, Polri will certainly continue to support what our fellow workers are fighting for,” the Police Chief said.
