Data from the Indonesian Central Statistics Agency (BPS) shows that in 2023, a significant number of children aged 0-17 years lacked health insurance coverage when seeking outpatient or inpatient medical care.

The proportion reached 60.28% of the total number of children aged 0-17 years who reported health issues and had visited a healthcare facility in the past month.

"Approximately 6 out of 10 children aged 0-17 years who experienced health problems and sought outpatient care in the last month did not utilize health insurance," wrote the BPS in its 2023 Health Statistics Profile report.

However, among those who did have health insurance, the most commonly used was BPJS Kesehatan (Indonesia's national health insurance program), both PBI (recipients of government contribution) and non-PBI, accounting for 35.81%.

This figure comprises 19.85% from BPJS Kesehatan PBI recipients and 15.96% from non-PBI BPJS Kesehatan members.

Regional health insurance (Jamkesda) was used by 1.95%.

Furthermore, 1.68% of children used their parents' company or office insurance, while only 0.53% used private insurance.
