The Indonesian government is currently working on improving health services by ensuring that every citizen is protected by JKN-KIS and continues to increase the number and quality of facilities in the health sector. Currently JKN-KIS membership has exceeded 198.8 million people, which means nearly 80% of the total population. With this amount, the government welcomed the existence of a hospital that provides health services for JKN-KIS participants. This is also part of efforts to improve health service standards and significantly contribute to the progress of the overall health care system. (Kormen).
