DKI Jakarta National Sports Week (PON) Pelatda athletes who are being prepared for PON XXI/2024 Aceh – North Sumatra, receive health protection from BPJS Employment.

This protection is in the form of a guarantee for medical costs if an athlete is injured during training. They will be covered by BPJS Employment CSR funds with referrals   EMC Pulomas Hospital   And   EMC Sentul Hospital .

Submission of BPJS Employment CSR from   EMC Pulomas Hospital   And   EMC Sentul Hospital   for athlete protection   PON Pelatda   DKI Jakarta took place in the building   KONI DKI Jakarta , Friday (30/9/2022).

Present on this occasion was the Director   EMC Pulomas Hospital   Dr Julia Sutandar, Vice President sales and marketing EMC Group Dave Tilaar, Head of Sales EMC Pulomas Hospital Andrian Ronald Yudistira, Deputy Regional Director DKI Jakarta BPJS Employment Eko Nugriyanto, Zayn as Regional Director DKI Jakarta BPJS Employment, and a number of other officials.

Meanwhile from   KONI DKI Jakarta   attended directly by General Chair Dr Hidayat Humaid M.Pd, Deputy General Chair II Gde Sardjana, Deputy General Chair V Dr Nur Ali, and a number of other administrators.

In his speech, Hidayat said that athletes really need to receive protection in their training activities. The reason is, the athlete is a public figure who can make the nation proud internationally.

“We need to know that only two events can raise the Red and White flag abroad. "The first is a state activity carried out by the president, and the second is an outstanding athlete who won gold medals in various international events," said Hidayat.

Now, said Hidayat, with guarantees from BPJS Employment, athletes will be more comfortable practicing. They don't need to be afraid of injury because someone has covered the usual care if they get injured during training.

"But I know that PBJS Health certainly prays that not many athletes will get injured during training, so that there won't be many claims for treatment costs," continued Hidayat in a joking tone which was greeted with laughter from the audience.

Meanwhile, Eko Nugriyanto, in his short speech, hoped that DKI Jakarta athletes would be able to excel in international events. In line with Hidayat, he also does not expect many athletes to get injured in training because that will disrupt preparations for PON.
