She made the statement during the Digital Connectivity Appreciation 2026 event in Central Jakarta on Friday, April 17, 2026.
Real Benefits for Education and Healthcare
According to Meutya, the success of network development should not be measured solely by the availability of access, but by how far the internet is used to enhance the quality of education and healthcare services.
“I am deeply moved to see the collaboration among various sectors, including schools, community health centers, the military, and industry, in supporting the government’s efforts to ensure reliable connectivity,” she said.
Meutya added that the true measure of connectivity lies in its tangible daily impact. Students can access broader learning resources, while healthcare workers are able to deliver faster and more accurate services to patients.
“The government cannot work alone; it requires support from multiple stakeholders,” she noted.
She further stressed that connectivity must become an integral part of public services, rather than merely an infrastructure development effort.
“We hope that collaboration between the government, industry, and society will continue to strengthen and further improve our national connectivity,” she concluded.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Meutya Hafid underscored that digital connectivity should no longer be seen as a mere infrastructure project, but as a transformative tool that directly improves public services. By ensuring that internet access is actively utilized in schools and healthcare facilities, the government aims to deliver tangible benefits to society. Sustained collaboration between the public sector, industry, and communities will be essential to maximize the impact of Indonesia’s digital transformation.
