The recent fatwa decreed by the Indonesian Council of Ulema (Majelis Ulama Indonesia – MUI) regarding the new Social Security Agency for Healthcare (BPJS for Health) is starting to garner more serious attention from its various stakeholders.On Monday, several institutions relevant to the BPJS for Health organized a press conference. Representatives from a number of bodies were at the event, including attendees from the Financial Services Authority (OJK), National Social Security Committee, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Health, BPJS for Health, and MUI.
Firdaus Djaelani, Chief Executive of Non-Bank Financing Industry Supervision at the OJK, confirmed that the new healthcare program would undergo further discussion resulting in a decree that would take into account the recommendations made by the MUI regarding the BPJS for Health.
“A collaboration group consisting of the BJS for Health, the MUI, the JKS Board, and the government will be formed. Ultimately though, there aren’t that many issues that need to be solved and the target is to settle all of them within a week,” stated Mr. Djaelani.
While these issues are being resolved, Mr. Djaelani has urged the public to register with the BPJS for Health or to continue with their monthly payments if they are already members. Mr. Djaelani further ellucidated that the MUI’s fatwa aimed to accommodate society’s need for a Sharia-based healthcare program, as well as to minimize any hesitation among the public regarding participation in the healthcare program.
Once the program is finally underway, a new registration form will be distributed regarding the provision of Sharia-based healthcare. The new form will focus on various types of akad (contracts) and types of fund management. Funds received from new members for the provision of Sharia-based healthcare may also be managed by Sharia banks.
“There will be a regular and a Sharia-based BPJS for Health all under one umbrella organization,” asserted Mr. Djaelani.
Fachmi Idris, President Director of the BPJS for Health, has assured the public that his agency is implementing the healthcare program in accordance with all of the relevant laws and regulations, and that the MUI’s recommendation is merely to incorporate various Sharia principles into the program.
Mr. Idris believes that the issuance of a new BPJS for Health Regulation can be quickly resolved through the board of directors and the BPJS for Health Advisory Board, however he also stresses that a higher regulation will be necessary if the current regulation is deemed insufficient.
If the Sharia-based program is to be executed effectively, then Mr. Idris has to ensure that there are no conflicts of interest between the regular and Sharia-based programs, and also that no discriminatory treatment is aimed at members of either of the two programs.
“If the collaboration group recommends a Sharia healthcare program, then that’s what we will prepare,” Mr. Idris concluded.
