Indonesian Workers Insurance provided by Jasindo :

Asuransi Jasindo Consortium which provides insurance for Indonesian migrant workers has resumed operation following the issuance of a letter by BNP2TKI (the National Agency for the Placement and Protection of Overseas Labor) containing the withdrawal of the sanction on the Consortium’s operational activities. The sanction on Asuransi Jasindo Consortium has been withdrawn by BNP2TKI in compliance with the letter of the Head of BNP2TKI No. B.426/BNP2TKI/VII/2007 dated 12th July 2007, Dewi Poedjiastuti, the Head of Jasindo HR Bureau said in a press release as reported by Investor Daily, Monday (16/7). Following the sanction, Jasindo has been determined to take measures for improving its service and meeting the requirements as an Indonesian Workers Insurance Consortium. She has also stated that Asuransi Jasindo Consortium has opened up Overseas Representative Offices in the Indonesian workers destination countries, namely Malaysia, Brunei Darussalam, Hong Kong, South Korea, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Taiwan, and Saudi Arabia.

Furthermore Jasindo has started having an online system on Indonesian migrant workers data between the Consortium and Depnakertrans (the Department of Manpower and Transmigration). Additionally, Jasindo has opened up representative offices for Indonesian migrant workers, online computerization with BNP2TKI and Depnakertrans for the workers’ data, as well as emergency vehicles for taking care of troubled workers. Jasindo presently has 85 branch offices, one in each BNP2TKI throughout Indonesia, and is currently cooperating with Kramat Jati Police hospital to look after Indonesian workers who require medication and treatment all free of charge with the relevant cost borne by the Consortium. Jasindo fully supports the Depnakertrans policy to set up an Indonesian Incorporation to oversee the availability of representative offices in each destination country to provide services and assistance for Indonesian migrant workers who may be in trouble overseas.
