71.8% of Mothers in Indonesia Have Health Insurance

The Central Statistics Agency (BPS) reported that 71.8% of mothers in Indonesia had health insurance in 2020. This means that 72 out of 100 mothers had health insurance.

The percentage of mothers with health insurance increased from the previous year's 68.52%. The most common type of health insurance held by mothers was BPJS Kesehatan Penerima Bantuan Iuran (PBI), reaching 52.49%.

Furthermore, 35.18% of mothers had BPJS Kesehatan Non-PBI. Another 13.43% had regional health insurance (Jamkesda), and 5.12% had insurance through their company/office. Finally, 1.31% of mothers in Indonesia had private insurance.

Having health insurance is crucial for mothers as it guarantees access to necessary medical treatment. Moreover, it can be used for prenatal checkups and childbirth.

Health insurance can mitigate the economic challenges faced by mothers who cannot access healthcare facilities due to a lack of funds, providing them with free healthcare.
