Road cash victims from accidents in South Jakarta can now get free medical treatment at a Mayapada Hospital in the municipality.
The bills of victims, including motorists, bus riders and pedestrians, will now be covered up to Rp 10 million (US$850) following the signing of a cooperation agreement on Wednesday between state-run insurance company PT Jasa Raharja and the hospital.
'Many victims in traffic accidents are often afraid to go to hospitals for medical care, afraid they won't be able to afford the costs,' hospital director David Santoso said.
'This often results in their injuries worsening, and could result in a fatality due to delayed medical treatment.' (alz)
