PROJECT SUMMARY:
Through the USAID-funded Health Technical Assistance Project (BANTU), Palladium rapidly recruits and deploys specialized short- and long-term technical assistance to support USAID, USAID-funded programs, the Government of Indonesia (GOI), and other organizations and agencies as required.
Indonesia has introduced a three-pillar social security system, namely: Social Assistance, Compulsory Savings and Social Health Insurance. As part the GOI’s social health insurance program (JKN - Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional), the Social Health Insurance Provider (BPJS Kesehatan) was launched on January 1, 2014. The goal is to reach Universal Health Coverage (UHC) by 2019. The Law on Health Social Security Providers (No. 24/2011), elaborating the implementation of the National Social Security System, stipulated universal health insurance to commence in 2014. Under this law, DJSN is also mandated to conduct analyses to inform and policy development to improve the implementation of JKN.
