Indonesia temporarily restores health coverage for 11 million people amid data review.

Indonesia will temporarily reactivate JKN health coverage for 11 million people whose government-subsidized insurance was deactivated in February 2026, following a sudden removal of nearly 10% of participants. The three-month reactivation, supported by Rp15 billion in funds, aims to allow time for data validation by Statistics Indonesia, regional governments, and the Ministry of Social Affairs. The move ensures continued access to care for vulnerable groups, including 120,000 with catastrophic illnesses like cancer and dialysis patients. The government stresses the need for accurate targeting while preventing sudden disruptions, especially for those unaware they lost coverage.
