West Java Police Will Socialize BPJS Rules As The Basis For Public Services
WEST JAVA - The West Java Regional Police will socialize regarding the application of the requirements for a Driver's License (SIM) using the Social Security Administering Body (BPJS) for Health. This is done so that the public will more easily understand the policy.
"For the time being, there will be socialization. So that in its implementation it will be easily understood by the public," said Head of Public Relations of the West Java Police, Kombes Pol. Ibrahim Tompo when confirmed by VOI, Wednesday, March 2.
Ibrahim ensured that the West Java Regional Police would enforce the regulation. However, for now, they are still waiting for implementation instructions (juklak) and technical instructions (juknis) from the National Police Headquarters.
"The National Police will support the government's policies while waiting for instructions and regulations from Headquarters," he said.
Previously reported, the Government of President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) began to require BPJS Health participant cards as a condition for obtaining public services.
In addition to requiring BPJS Health as one of the conditions for buying and selling land, it was revealed that the government also requires BPJS Health participation as a condition for Umrah registration to apply for a driving license (SIM).
Presidential Instruction (Inpres) 1/2022 on Optimizing the Implementation of the National Health Insurance Program instructs the National Police Chief to refine regulations to ensure that applicants for SIM, STNK, and SKCK are active participants of the JKN program.
Meanwhile, the National Police of the Republic of Indonesia (Polri) will complete the regulation to make BPJS Health a requirement for managing motorized vehicles. The regulation is contained in Perpol Number 7 of 2021 concerning Resident Ranmor.
The President of the Republic of Indonesia, Joko Widodo, wants to pursue the target of 98 percent of Indonesian citizens getting universal health insurance by 2024 through Presidential Instruction (Inpres) No. 1 of 2022.
