On National Children’s Day, July 23, 2023, Good Doctor Technology Indonesia (Good Doctor) in collaboration with Jakarta Escape Citypark (Jakarta Escape) organized a parenting seminar on healthy living patterns for optimal growth and development of children, aiming to educate and enhance public health knowledge. At Jakarta Escape, besides the seminar, parents and children can engage in various fun activities to break away from daily routines while connecting with nature. After gaining knowledge on maintaining children’s health, parents can utilize AXA Good Health insurance to continue safeguarding the well-being of their children as well as their own.
Jakarta, July 23, 2023 – In line with this year’s National Children’s Day theme, “Protected Children, Progressive Indonesia,” protecting children from various elements that can disturb their health is an investment for the nation’s future. Healthy children are able to absorb lessons well and, as adults, work more productively, thus improving their standard of living. According to the Asian Development Bank, the long-term benefit of investing in child health is an increase in the proportion of the population surviving to working age, contributing to economic growth.
According to UNICEF’s “Situation of Children in Indonesia” report, a third of Indonesia’s population consists of children, totaling about 80 million – the fourth-largest child population in the world. This large number can be an asset for national development if they are healthy, or conversely, a burden on the country if they are sick.
However, data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) shows an increase in Indonesian children’s health complaints in the last month of 2022 compared to 2021. In 2022, there were 28.81% of children in Indonesia who had health complaints in the last month. This percentage increased by 4.13% compared to the previous year (24.68%).
Improving children’s health can start by promoting healthy living patterns for children and families in unique and fun ways. Utilizing National Children’s Day momentum, Good Doctor collaborated with Jakarta Escape to organize a parenting seminar and fun activities with children in a natural environment. Through this event, the millennial generation and their children are invited to take a break from the hectic urban life and gain knowledge and experience beneficial for their children’s growth and development from specialists and stand-up comedians.
Jakarta Escape is not just a seminar venue. In this vast and lush green area, children and parents can breathe fresh air and engage in various fun activities like ATV and electric bike riding, Sunday Market dining, horse riding, swimming, animal feeding, rickshaw rides, or simply sitting, relaxing, and walking with family while listening to live music available only on weekends.
RK Mentee and Psychologist at Jakarta Escape, Galuh Saraswati, said, “Jakarta Escape is part of Rumah Perubahan which aims to create a society brave enough to arrange a better life for tomorrow than today. In line with this goal, we hope that after attending this parenting seminar, participants will gain deeper knowledge about child development from the experts at Good Doctor and start applying it. Thus, bringing about a better change in their family lives and having a positive influence on their environment.”
Chief Medical Officer of PT Good Doctor Technology Indonesia, Dr. Adhiatma Gunawan, said, “This millennial parenting seminar is one of our initiatives to improve public health knowledge. In this health education event, our child and sports medicine specialists will explain nutrition and activities suitable for children aged 0–12 years. To meet the deeper health needs of children and families, we also provide special clinics for Women’s Health, Healthy Pregnancy, Pregnancy Programs, Breastfeeding, Healthy Body, Clinical Nutrition specialists, and Obstetrics and Gynecology on our platform. Thus, people can easily do teleconsultations, not limited by place and time.”
Besides applying the healthy lifestyle obtained from this parenting seminar, parents should still pay attention to their health as well. Often, due to being too focused on taking care of children, parents neglect their own health. However, to raise healthy children, healthy parents are needed. Maintaining the health of parents and children is not difficult to do, as long as it is consistently applied in daily life.
However, one thing related to the health of children and parents that is often overlooked is ensuring that all family members have health insurance. In fact, having health insurance for all family members is a wise choice because illness often occurs unexpectedly and healthcare costs continue to increase year by year. Quoted from gooddoctor.co.id, having health insurance can minimize treatment costs because we already have savings every month. Health insurance also makes it easier for us to access the best health facilities.
To maintain the health of all family members, AXA Good Health Insurance offers very affordable premiums and aligns with today’s lifestyle that prioritizes ease, comfort, and speed. Starting from the ease of purchasing this insurance, accessing teleconsultation services with general practitioners and specialists, purchasing and delivering medicine, all done through the Good Doctor app, healthcare services in the form of direct referrals, face-to-face outpatient care, and inpatient facilities at partner hospitals throughout Indonesia, as well as the ease of the non-cash claim process.
This insurance, integrating Online-to-Offline (O2O) outpatient services, is only available on the Good Doctor app. With AXA Good Health Insurance, when a family member feels symptoms, they can immediately consult online on the Good Doctor app 24 hours a day. If it can be handled online, the patient receives an electronic prescription. Then, the medicine is delivered to the home in less than an hour. Meanwhile, if it cannot be handled online, Good Doctor will refer the patient to an offline hospital. Then, the patient goes to the partner hospital and receives treatment. If no hospitalization is needed, the patient can go straight home. This differs from traditional insurance services that make patients wait for initial treatment at the first health facility or clinic.
