95.7% Coverage For Indonesia National Health Scheme

The National Health Insurance (JKN) coverage has reached 267 million people, or equivalent to 95.77 percent of the nation’s population, by 2023-end, according to the Health Ministry’s Director General of Health Services.

The number almost reached the 98 percent coverage target as mandated by the 2024 RPJMN (National Middle-term Development Plan) according to state health insurer BPJS Kesehatan.

Out of the 267 million insurance participants, 214 million can be considered as being “active participants” who pay their insurance fees. Meanwhile, another 54 million participants are considered “non-active". “Some 99 percent of the 54 million non-active participants, equal to 53.8 million, are PBPU (non-wage earners) participants.

Insurance participants are considered non-wage earners if they work in the non-formal sector or micro, small, and medium enterprises.

By February 2024, the number of JKN participants reached 268 million, an increase of one million from the 2023-end figure. The latest number has shown significant progress from 2014 when the insurer recorded only 133 million insurance participants at that time.
