Rising Trend in Active Lifestyles Creates Opportunities for Insurance and Healthcare Industries
The trend towards an active lifestyle and the public’s enthusiasm for sports and fitness have shown a continuous increase in recent times. In various cities, facilities ranging from mini-soccer pitches to padel courts are increasingly crowded with diverse sporting communities, spanning from corporate groups to families adopting sports as part of a healthy lifestyle.
Responding to this phenomenon, Royal Progress Hospital, in collaboration with Prudential Indonesia, has strengthened its commitment to providing easier and more comfortable access to healthcare services through its role as a Pru Priority Hospital. The Director of PT Royal Progress and CEO of Progress Healthcare, Derice A. Sumantri, stated that this momentum was marked by a friendly mini-soccer match held with the PRU MRT Agency at the Verde Sports Hub, PIK, on Monday, 24 August 2026.
“This activity serves as a symbol of synergy between healthcare providers and insurance companies, encouraging the public to remain physically active without neglecting the importance of health protection,” Derice said in a statement on Tuesday, 1 September 2026.
He added that Royal Progress Hospital plans to organise similar activities with other partner insurance companies to further strengthen collaborations oriented towards patient convenience. Through the partnership with Prudential as a Pru Priority Hospital, Prudential policyholders can enjoy various conveniences, including a cashless system that allows patients to receive services without needing to prepare upfront funds or make deposits, provided the policy benefits comply with applicable terms.
Amidst a trend where several healthcare facilities have begun implementing reimbursement mechanisms for certain insurance products, the cashless system provides added value, offering security and comfort for patients and their families. “As a personalised boutique hospital, we do not only focus on medical aspects, but also on the patient experience during service delivery,” said Derise.
With the support of a cashless system according to policy benefits and applicable regulations, Derice hopes that patients can focus more on the treatment and recovery process without worrying about the initial payment administration. He ensured that Royal Progress Hospital remains committed to providing patient-focused healthcare, prioritising comfort, empathy, and more personalised assistance for every individual in need of medical services.
