280.4 Million People in Indonesia Covered by JKN as of September 2026

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - BPJS Kesehatan President Director Prihati Pujowaskito revealed that the number of participants in the National Health Insurance (JKN) program has reached 280.4 million as of September 30, 2026.

"As of September 30, 2026, the coverage of BPJS Kesehatan has reached 284 million participants," Pujowaskito stated at the Grand Final and Awarding of the National Young Ambassador of BPJS Kesehatan 2026 event, held at the BPJS Office in Central Jakarta on Thursday (11/12/2026).

Pujowaskito emphasized that the increasing number of JKN participants illustrates the importance of a national health protection program, which has been in place since 2014.

"We can imagine how vast BPJS has become. This reflects the expanding reach of health protection for the community," he said.

According to him, the large participant coverage also presents a challenge for BPJS Kesehatan to ensure the sustainability of the JKN program.

This requires understanding, concern, and active participation from all layers of society.

"The JKN program needs understanding, concern, and participation from all generations, including the young ambassadors present today," Pujowaskito stated.

He reiterated that the JKN program is built on the principle of mutual cooperation, where healthy individuals help those who are ill.

Meanwhile, those who are capable contribute to support those in need of health protection.

"The implementation of health protection is carried out on the principle of mutual cooperation, fostering a spirit of togetherness in which the healthy help the sick, and those who can support those who need it more," Pujowaskito said.

Pujowaskito views mutual cooperation as the noble value of JKN because health protection is not only related to individual interests but also represents a shared responsibility.

"This noble value is the strength of the JKN program, as health protection is not just about individual interests, but also about our concern and responsibility for each other," he added.
