For Blora district, the percentage of universal health coverage (UHC) is still at 80.6 percent.
Pemkab targets to reach the standard percentage of 98 percent. Every year UHC is allocated a budget of IDR 28 billion. That's to pay for the health premiums of the residents who are covered.
Head of the Blora Health Service (Dinkes) Edy Widayat said the percentage of UHC being pursued has increased. From 80.6 percent to 98 percent. As required by the central government.

UHC as of today is 80.6 percent. We're going to aim for 98 percent. We hope that people who are able and independent register for BPJS, he explained.
Edy said that the participation of residents who are covered by BPJS Health is one of the values that can boost the percentage.
Communities with an established economy are encouraged to register independently, while the poor are recapitulated in the Integrated Social Welfare Data (DTKS).
Those in the villages we sort. Of course, people who are poor and included in the DTKS will be included in the central and regional budgets, he explained.
This year, the district government has budgeted Rp 28 billion for UHC. Pay premiums to BPJS for medical claims of residents who are treated at the hospital. This amount does not change from year to year.
Every year IDR 28 billion is used to pay public health premiums,” he explained.

Head of BPJS Kesehatan Pati Branch Wahyu Gianto hopes that the percentage of UHC in the regions can be increased.
One of the things that can be done is to increase the participation of residents who are covered by health. Also adding health facilities, especially in remote areas such as the Randublatung Hospital.
Blora still has a lot of homework, we ask those with JKN to register, because the principle is mutual cooperation," he said. (Endah/ IST )
