Kebijakan Baru Menjamin Akses Kesehatan bagi Penyandang Disabilitas Indonesia

Jaminan kesehatan tidak selalu terjamin bagi penyandang disabilitas Indonesia. Pada tahun 2015, Sustia Rini, seorang perempuan penyandang disabilitas yang tinggal di Kabupaten Lombok Barat, mendapati bahwa anak sulungnya tidak akan menerima layanan kesehatan PBI yang didanai pemerintah karena hutang sebelumnya yang belum dibayar. Karena tidak memiliki penghasilan tetap, Rini tidak dapat melunasi utangnya, sehingga ia dan anak-anaknya tidak diasuransikan. Namun, reformasi kebijakan tahun 2020 sekarang memastikan ketersediaan asuransi kesehatan PBI gratis bagi warga Lombok Barat, terlepas dari hutang sebelumnya. Perubahan ini akan memberikan Rini dan perempuan penyandang disabilitas lainnya di Lombok Barat akses ke layanan kesehatan yang vital. *Video termasuk deskripsi audio. *Baca bersama dengan mengklik tombol cc pada pemutar YouTube Anda.
