Seminar Highlights

Dynamic discussions unfolded across main panel sessions, focusing on digital innovation in healthcare services, addressing service access disparities in remote areas, and strengthening inter-sectoral governance for JKN. Evaluation and Impact

Evaluation results from the seminar were overwhelmingly positive:

• 91% of participants rated the seminar content as highly relevant.
• 87% of participants expressed readiness to apply the insights gained in their workplace or academic environment.
• Participants described the seminar as “distinctly different, as it was more substantive and brought in diverse voices from the field.”

This seminar marked a leap forward in meaningful public engagement in strengthening Indonesia’s social health insurance system. More than a ceremonial gathering, it served as a substantive forum for shaping new directions in national health policy, grounded in field experience and scientific evidence.

As part of the broader Scientific Forum, this seminar also reflects a progressive step in the evidence-based transformation of JKN services. In addition to enhancing the quality of national scientific publications, the forum helped bridge academic knowledge and public policy needs, fostering a more responsive, inclusive, and sustainable health system.
