In 2014, the Government had launched a national health insurance scheme with the objective of covering more than a quarter of a billion Indonesians by 2019. 12. The President was committed to a comprehensive and multifaceted policy to accelerate development in Papua and West Papua provinces, which would enable the Papuans to enjoy prosperity on the same basis as their fellow countrymen in other parts of Indonesia.
