WHO Records 26.6% of Indonesians Still Facing Financial Difficulties Due to Healthcare Costs
Published
The World Health Organization (WHO) has recorded that around 26.6 percent of Indonesians still face financial difficulties due to the costs of managing health. This figure shows that many families in Indonesia must spend large sums of money when a family member falls ill.
To address this problem, the government and various other parties continue to strengthen the health insurance ecosystem. Health insurance is considered one of the ways to provide more sustainable financial protection. With insurance, people can pay premiums regularly and receive assistance when they need medical services.
Strengthening the health insurance ecosystem also includes improving service quality, ease of access, and public understanding of the benefits of insurance. With a stronger system, it is expected that the burden of healthcare costs will no longer be a major risk to household finances.
Overall, sustainable health protection is considered important for maintaining the welfare of the public. These developments need to continue to be monitored so that their benefits can be felt equitably by all segments of Indonesian society.
