The Free Health Check in Schools program (CKG Sekolah) was officially launched on August 4, 2025. This initiative, which began in 12 schools simultaneously, received a positive response from participating students. Fritz Edward Siregar, Deputy for Information Coordination and Communication Evaluation at the Presidential Communication Office (PCO), emphasized that CKG Sekolah is a crucial step in nurturing Indonesia’s golden generation. The school-based program is part of the larger Free Health Check (CKG) initiative that started in February 2025.
President Prabowo Subianto’s Fast Results for the Best Outcomes program prioritizes CKG as a means to enhance the nation’s healthcare system. The launch event at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Negeri (MIN) 8 in South Jakarta saw enthusiastic participation from various stakeholders. Parents were also highlighted as key influencers in encouraging their children to participate in these health checks, which are not only free but also conveniently conducted in schools.
During the event, 617 students from MIN 8 South Jakarta received health assessments by 30 medical personnel from local Community Health Centers (Puskesmas). The screenings covered various aspects, such as nutritional status, blood pressure, blood sugar, dental check-ups, immunization history, and more. The initiative aims to provide these health checks at least once a year to reach 60 million beneficiaries by the end of 2025, with a long-term goal of expanding the program to the entire Indonesian population.
CKG services are not only available at schools but also through community health centers, integrated health posts, BPJS clinics, offices, and local communities. Digital integration through the SATUSEHAT Mobile app and the Ministry of Health’s official WhatsApp channel further ensures widespread access to these health checks. Since its launch, CKG has already benefited over 15 million individuals, with plans to target over 53 million students from elementary to high schools across Indonesia.
