Mundiharno said that during the conference, the digital ecosystem of the National Health Insurance Program (JKN) managed by BPJS Health will be showcased as one of the best practices before partners from various countries.
He informed that in 2021, BPJS Health received the highest award in the Asia-Pacific region.

BPJS Health is aware that information technology and the development of reliable information systems will have a direct impact on the quality of various applications.
In addition, the development of information systems will also have an impact on membership services, health services offered by health facilities, claims management systems, and the management of health service utilization.
