Islands in focus: Anak Dalam tribe members join BPJS

T

he mind-set and lifestyle of members of the Anak Dalam tribe in Muara Kilis village, Tengah Ilir district, Tebo regency, appear to be changing as they have applied to enter the Social Security Management Agency (BPJS) health insurance plan.

'€œWe registered as BPJS members so we could get immediate health care, despite having no money, when we are sick,'€ said Muara Kilis Anak Dalam tribe leader Temenggung Tupang Besak on Monday.

He added the entire group had registered as BPJS members, but only around 10 of them held BPJS cards.

'€œAll of us have registered as BPJS members, but only 10 of us have been issued with cards,'€ he said.
