President Prabowo Subianto has officially appointed Prihati Pujowaskito as the new President Director of BPJS Kesehatan for the 2026-2031 term. Pujowaskito is set to take over from Ali Ghufron Mukti, whose tenure concludes in February 2026, marking a significant leadership transition for Indonesia’s vital health insurance body.
Pujowaskito brings a distinguished background to the role, having served as a retired Army Major General (Mayjen (Purn) TNI) and a practicing cardiologist. His extensive career includes military service, notably in Sepamilsuk ABRI III in 1990, which underscores his diverse experience in leadership and the medical field.
This pivotal decision is formalized through Presidential Decree of the Republic of Indonesia Number 17/P Year 2026. This decree specifically addresses the dismissal and appointment of the Supervisory Board and Board of Directors for the Social Security Administering Body for Health (BPJS Kesehatan). These strategic appointments are crucial for strengthening the governance and ensuring the seamless continuity of Indonesia’s overarching National Health Insurance Program (JKN).
Prior to these executive appointments, the House of Representatives of the Republic of Indonesia (DPR RI) played a key role in confirming the new Board of Supervisors. This involved a rigorous fit and proper test conducted by DPR RI Commission IX, followed by formal approval during a Plenary Session, in line with legal provisions for presidential nominations.
The framework for these appointments is firmly established by Law Number 24 of 2011 concerning Social Security Administering Bodies. Specifically, Article 21 mandates that members of the Supervisory Board are appointed for a five-year term and are eligible for re-nomination for one additional term. Similar provisions for the Board of Directors are outlined in Article 23, ensuring structured leadership and accountability within the organization.
The newly constituted leadership for 2026-2031 is as follows:
Composition of the Supervisory Board 2026–2031:
1. Stevanus Adrianto Passat (Chairman of the Supervisory Board – Employee Representative)
