Indonesia introduced a national health insurance programme (known as JKN) in 2014, based on the National Social Security (SJSN) Law No. 40 which was passed in 2004. This law laid out the legal basis for the establishment of a nationwide health insurance as part of the National Social Security System in the country. Following the SJSN Law, the GOI subsequently enacted the so-called BPJS Law No. 24 in 2011. This required the integration of the various public health insurance schemes existing at that time into a single insurance system. The BPJS law also stipulated that a single health insurance carrier, namely BPJS Kesehatan, should be established to operate the JKN scheme from 2014 onwards.
The enactment of the BPJS Law has advanced significantly the role and function of the National Social Security Council (DJSN) as one of main stakeholders of the ongoing Social Security and Health reform. The Social Security Council (DJSN) has been took on the task of reform implementation, containing the three components of a) formulating of policy recommendations (e.g. drafting of presidential decrees), b) cross-sectoral coordination of stakeholders (e.g. ministries) involved in the reforms and c) monitoring and evaluation of the reform implementation.
Hence, the reform process is laid out in the Road Map for the Implementation of Universal Coverage to Health in 2019 which was approved by the National Government and official acknowledgment as the ‘National Strategic Document’ through the Presidential Decree 74/2014. The Roadmap has been used by the GoI as the key instrument for realizing the JKN and steering the overall reform.
Social Protection Programme (SPP) implemented by GIZ has been at first supporting the design and is currently continuing the support for the implementation stage of JKN on various levels. SPP has been actively involved and facilitating the elaboration of the Roadmap and strengthening the key stakeholders in performing of activity to ensure the sustainability of the reform since 2010. The continuation of support for monitoring and evaluation of its implementation is in-line with the mandate of SPP in Indonesia.
In order to sustain, foster and enhance the present achievements of the Indonesian government in future, the stakeholders have voiced the demand for a continuous support of SPP in facilitating the process of implementation which focus to monitoring and evaluation of its National Health Insurance programme.
