Bhimasena Power, Batang Power Plant - PT Bhimasena Power Indonesia (BPI) and the Batang Regency Health Agency handed over health insurance program assistance to 175 underprivileged residents from Ujungnegoro, Karanggeneng, Ponowareng, and Roban Barat Hamlet, Kedungsegog Village. This assistance was witnessed by the Social Agency of Batang Regency, Health Agency of Batang Regency, Kandeman Sub-district Head, Kandeman and Tulis Sub-district Leadership Communication Forums, and BPJS Kesehatan at the Karanggeneng Village Hall on Tuesday, September 16, 2025.

Sulasmoro, through CSR & Community Relations Manager Ahmad Lukman, stated that this activity is an implementation of the Cooperation Agreement (PKS) among BPI, the Pekalongan Branch of BPJS Kesehatan, and the Health Agency of Batang Regency to support the Universal Health Coverage (UHC) program in Batang Regency, which aims to increase health coverage of National Health Insurance (JKN) membership for underprivileged residents and fishermen communities around the Batang Power Plant.

"Together with the Health Agency of Batang Regency, we are working to improve the access to public health services by facilitating National Health Insurance (JKN) membership for 175 beneficiaries who have been verified by the Village Government and meet the criteria, such as being underprivileged and not yet receiving government assistance," said Aryamir H. Sulasmoro.

BPI's General Manager of Stakeholder Relations also added that the beneficiaries include 18 fishermen from Roban Barat, Kedungsegog Village, one beneficiary from Ponowareng Village, 32 beneficiaries from Karanggeneng Village, and 124 beneficiaries from Ujungnegoro Village. The health insurance program will be available from June 2025 to May 2026. The program aims to provide adequate health protection and promote a healthier and more prosperous society.

Achmad Sutono, a fisherman from Roban Barat, Kedungsegog Village, and one of the beneficiaries, expressed his appreciation for BPI's ongoing CSR programs in the villages surrounding the Batang PLTU, particularly for the Roban fishing community, encompassing environmental, health, economic, infrastructure, and other programs.

"This BPI CSR program has been very helpful and has eased the burden on our families in accessing adequate healthcare. Hopefully, BPI can continue to operate smoothly and benefit the surrounding residents," said Achmad Sutono.

Acting Head of Health Agency of Batang Regency, Ida Susilaksmi, expressed her appreciation to BPI for working with the Health Agency to support the Batang Regency Government's target of Universal Health Coverage.

"On this occasion, we also urge everyone to continue fostering and developing community self-reliance by prioritizing health. Furthermore, BPI's contribution to Batang Regency has been extraordinary through its health-focused CSR programs, such as stunting reduction, Community-Based Total Sanitation, and Open Defecation-Free (ODF). We hope this can be further expanded to help even more people achieve independence," said Ida Susilaksmi.

The Head of Social Agency of Batang Regency, Willopo, expressed his appreciation for the collaboration between BPI and the Batang Health Agency, which provided health insurance to 175 residents. He also expressed his gratitude to the village government, as all villages in Batang Regency now have Social Health Centers (Puskesos), facilitating access to facilities for the community.

"We are very proud of BPI's contribution and concern for the communities surrounding the Batang Power Plant. We hope that Batang Regency will continue to maintain Universal Health Coverage, and that the community will support all government programs," Willopo stated. (**)
