Cikarang. Bekasi regency has achieved 99.67% coverage under the National Health Insurance (JKN) program, with 3,496,578 people registered out of a total population of 3,508,296 as of Nov. 1, 2026. The achievement has secured Priority Universal Health Coverage (UHC) status for the regency, reflecting the local government's commitment to expanding access to health protection in collaboration with the Healthcare and Social Security Agency (BPJS Kesehatan).

BPJS Kesehatan Membership Director Akmal Budi Yulianto said achieving UHC was an important step toward ensuring people had financial protection when accessing healthcare services. However, he stressed that the next challenge was maintaining active membership so participants could fully benefit from the JKN program.

"UHC is not simply about ensuring that everyone is registered as a JKN participant. We also have a responsibility to ensure that people remain protected when they need healthcare services. Therefore, maintaining active membership is a shared responsibility to ensure sustainable health protection," Akmal said at the 2026 Bekasi UHC event at Gedung Swatantra Wibawa Mukti in Cikarang on Friday.

Support from the Bekasi regency administration is also reflected in its financing of participants under the Non-Wage Recipient Workers (PBPU) segment registered by local governments. As of Nov. 1, 2026, a total of 708,002 people had been registered through this segment.

To bring services closer to residents, BPJS Kesehatan and the Bekasi administration are also promoting the use of Merah Putih Village and Urban Village Cooperatives (KDKMP) as channels to facilitate JKN registration and contribution payments. The initiative is expected to expand access to membership administration services at the village and urban village levels.

Akmal emphasized that expanding service access must go hand in hand with public education on participants' rights and obligations, including the importance of maintaining active membership status.
