"The use of the P-Care Vaccination application has helped the vaccination process run smoothly. We are grateful that BPJS Kesehatan also supports the addition of servers," she stated in a written statement received here on Thursday.
According to her, the collaboration between the government, health facilities, and the community needs to continue to support Indonesia's transition to the endemic phase of COVID-19.
The spokesperson also praised BPJS Kesehatan for supporting accountability and transparency in the administration of COVID-19 claims.
"In the claim verification process, BPJS Kesehatan continues to improve accountability and transparency in managing the COVID-19 claim budget; this is also because the medical records owned by BPJS Kesehatan are quite organized, transparent, and accountable," she said at the 2021 BPJS Kesehatan Media Workshop and Award for Journalistic Work Competition, according to the press statement.
