TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Labor Ministry's agenda to accommodate Indonesian migrant workers (TKI) in the Social Security Agency's healthcare department's (BPJS Kesehatan) health insurance (JKN) program is hampered by regulations.
Purnawarman Basundoro, Health BPJS' director of law, communications and inter-agency relationship, says the lack of provisions that allow BPJS to work with overseas health facilities will make it difficult for Indonesia to provide health protection and medical services to its citizens working abroad.
To include migrant workers in the program, the government is urged to revise Presidential Regulation no.111/2013 on the amendment of Presidential Regulation no.12/2013 on Health Insurance.
