Health Service Demonstration in Depok, Crowd Demands Universal Health Coverage

Depok City Hall is the administrative center of Depok, a city in West Java, Indonesia. It was established following Depok’s official separation from Bogor Regency and its inauguration as an independent city on April 27, 1999. The modern complex serves as the seat of local government, symbolizing the city’s growth and autonomy.

The Universal Health Coverage (UHC) program is a global health policy goal, championed by the World Health Organization, to ensure all people can access essential health services without suffering financial hardship. Its modern concept gained major momentum in the 2000s, building on the foundation of many national health systems established throughout the 20th century. Achieving UHC is now a central target within the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

BPJS Health is not a specific place or cultural site, but rather Indonesia’s national social security and health insurance program. It was established by law in 2011 and launched in 2014, consolidating several previous schemes to provide universal health coverage for Indonesian citizens and residents. Its primary function is to administer the **Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional (JKN)**, or National Health Insurance, aiming to ensure accessible healthcare services across the country.
