BPJS Kesehatan and Archdiocese of Jakarta partner for health literacy

Indonesia's national health insurer, BPJS Kesehatan, is forging a strategic alliance with the Archdiocese of Jakarta to enhance the reach and understanding of its National Health Security Program (JKN). This collaboration, named SYAIR JKN (Sinergi Penyuluh Agama Integrasi Literasi), aims to leverage religious leaders as key partners in educating the public about health insurance.

The initiative focuses on improving health literacy across communities by integrating JKN program information into the outreach efforts of religious counselors. By engaging figures trusted within their communities, BPJS Kesehatan seeks to overcome communication barriers and ensure that more people understand the benefits and procedures of the JKN program.

This partnership underscores BPJS Kesehatan's commitment to broadening access to healthcare information. The involvement of the Archdiocese of Jakarta signifies a recognition of the influential role religious institutions play in Indonesian society and their potential to foster greater public engagement with essential social programs like national health insurance.
