The Financial Sustainability of Indonesia's National Health Insurance Scheme: 2017-2021

Health Policy Plus and National Team for the Acceleration of Poverty Reduction, Indonesia

Description:

Indonesia's national health insurance scheme Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional, or JKN, is one of the most ambitious single-payer programs in the world. Launched in January 2014, JKN has made notable progress in increasing enrollment in just a few short years. The government is committed to ensuring JKN's ongoing sustainability, but as the scheme's annual deficits have increased, its financial situation is receiving much attention. How can the government improve the predictability of its outlays to the scheme? As JKN continues to scale-up toward universal coverage, critical policy decisions are required to increase revenue, rationalize healthcare expenditure, and project any future deficits to ensure the scheme is managed sustainably. This resource presents a summary the comprehensive assessment of JKN conducted by HP+ and the National Team for the Acceleration of Poverty Reduction. This resource is also translated in Indonesian and the translated resource can be found through the document link.
