Prepare Rp 20 Trillion from State Budget for BPJS Health, Cak Imin Calls for More Active Contributions from Independent Participants

BOGOR, KOMPAS.com - The government has allocated a budget of Rp 20 trillion from the State Budget (APBN) for the Social Security Administration Agency (BPJS) Health program.

This was conveyed by Coordinating Minister for Human Development (Menko PM) Muhaimin Iskandar after attending the 1001 People's Markets event at Sakura Field in Ciomas, Bogor Regency, on Saturday (19/9/2026).

"So yesterday, in a ministerial-level meeting, I, the Finance Minister, the Health Minister, and BPJS agreed to immediately allocate Rp 20 trillion from the APBN to strengthen our BPJS Health," said Cak Imin.

According to him, BPJS Health needs funds to continue growing and providing services to participants, which is a form of government cooperation through APBN support for BPJS Health.

"After all, BPJS Health is a mutual cooperation institution, involving all parties, both participants and the poor," he explained.

Encouraging the public to contribute more actively

Furthermore, Cak Imin said the government spends no less than Rp 67 trillion annually to sustain and develop BPJS Health.

Therefore, he urged everyone, especially independent BPJS Health participants, to contribute more actively.

"The government has contributed Rp 67 trillion per year, so the participants must also actively pay their contributions, except for the poor, whose payments are covered by the government. Those who are able should pay their contributions diligently so that our mutual cooperation will create a BPJS Health that serves the entire community," he appealed.

With this, it is hoped that no one will be left unserved in healthcare.

"There must be no one who is unserved in health and medical services. Therefore, we must ensure BPJS grows healthy. BPJS is a massive collaboration among the government, participants, and all involved parties," he concluded.
