Purbaya Grants Free Treatment at RSPAD Gatot Subroto to This Group of Indonesian Citizens

Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa has issued a new regulation that amends the service tariffs for the Public Service Agency (BLU) of the Army Central Hospital (RSPAD) Gatot Subroto, under the management of the Ministry of Defence. This provision is contained in Ministerial Regulation No. 20 of 2026, which replaces PMK 133/2019. The PMK takes effect 15 days after being promulgated on 22 April 2026. “To improve the quality of services to the public and provide financial management flexibility based on economic principles and productivity, as well as the application of sound business practices, it is necessary to regulate the service tariffs for goods or services provided by the Public Service Agency of the Army Central Hospital Gatot Subroto at the Ministry of Defence,” as quoted from the considering section of PMK 20/2026, Friday (24/4/2026). One of the latest provisions set by Purbaya is the addition to the list of groups of society that can receive free services when seeking treatment at RSPAD Gatot Subroto. In Article 24 of the new PMK, the list of society members who can be charged a service tariff of up to Rp0.00 (zero rupiah) includes the general public from poor families who are not patients of the guarantor party. Then, victims affected by force majeure; victims of criminal acts and/or accidents without identity; implementation of government assignments for strategic activities; and activities for public and social interests. In the previous regulation, namely PMK 133/2019, the groups of society that could receive free costs consisted only of unidentified accident victims; victims affected by force majeure conditions; general public patients from poor families who are not patients of the guarantor party, and patients from the TNI extended family. “The provision of service tariffs up to Rp0.00 (zero rupiah) as referred to in paragraph (1) shall be carried out by considering the financial condition of the Public Service Agency of the Army Central Hospital Gatot Subroto at the Ministry of Defence,” as stated in PMK 20/2026. Meanwhile, other tariffs that have changed from the previous provisions include the Class II medical accommodation fee of Rp825,000, previously Rp350,000-450,000 with more specific nomenclature, namely Class II Room. Another example is the visit or specialist doctor examination fee becoming Rp350,000 per visit, whereas previously the costs were calculated separately, such as visit fee Rp150,000-250,000 per day and consultation Rp150,000-250,000 per visit.
