TEMPO.CO, Jakarta – Puan Maharani, the Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture, said her ministry would prioritize the Healthy Indonesia Card and the Smart Indonesia Card programs with the assistance from eight related ministries.
“I’m going to have a coordination meeting with ministries to discuss the Healthy Indonesia Card and the Smart Indonesia Card. God willing, [the two programs] will be launched next month,” Puan said on Tuesday, October 28, 2014.
With the two programs initiated by President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo, Puan said, the Indonesian people will have equal rights in education and healthcare, allowing their life quality to improve gradually.
During the presidential campaign, Jokowi pledged he would initiate the Smart Indonesia Card and the Healthy Indonesia Card programs. Both programs were developed from the Jakarta Smart Card and the Healthy Jakarta Card.
