No need to worry about medical expenses, residents can take advantage of the Universal Health Coverage (UHC) Program

Please note, this program has existed since the end of 2017.

Until now, the socialization of UHC continues to be carried out to residents of the city of Bandung, one of which is socializing UHC is the Cijagra Lama Health Center which is located at Jalan Buah Batu, Kec. Lengkong, Bandung City.

The Cijagra Health Center socializes UHC directly to every kelurahan. Not only that, the Cijagra Health Center also uses Instagram social media.

"We have socialized the UHC program to the Kelurahan with the help of the PKK," said the Public Health Center Administration Manager, Iis.

The UHC program is prioritized for emergency patients and patients who need treatment, but if Bandung residents really need a health check, they can use this program.

"For UHC, in principle, all the people of Bandung can be served when he is sick and in an emergency, and cannot pay," he said.

"Then UHC was made. With the requirements for an ID card and family card in the city of Bandung. For those who are moving, at least they have been in the city of Bandung for at least 1 year," added Iis.

If residents who already have BPJS but are in arrears, Iis said, they can use the SKTM and include an agreement format to take treatment at a health facility.

Bandung residents can register for the UHC program at the nearest puskesmas or hospital. For how to register, Bandung residents just need to bring a photocopy of their Family Card (KK) and a photocopy of their E-KTP.

If the residents of Bandung City who do not have an E-KTP because they are underage, they can replace it with a photocopy of the Birth Certificate.

Applicants must also be willing to become JKN participants in class 3. After fulfilling the requirements, the UHC card will be sent to their respective homes. (siti/salma)**
