The Free Health Check in Schools program (CKG Sekolah) was officially launched on August 4, 2025. This program, implemented in 12 schools simultaneously, received a positive response from students. Fritz Edward Siregar, Deputy for Information Coordination and Communication Evaluation at the Presidential Communication Office (PCO), emphasized that CKG Sekolah is a vital initiative in nurturing Indonesia’s golden generation. It is an essential component of the broader CKG program that commenced in February 2025.
President Prabowo Subianto’s Fast Results for the Best Outcomes program prioritizes CKG as a crucial step in promoting the health of Indonesian students. The initiative initially started with health assessments at community health centers and has now expanded to schools nationwide. During the launch event at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Negeri (MIN) 8 in South Jakarta, Lieutenant General (Ret.) Anto Mukti (AM) Putranto, Presidential Chief of Staff, underscored the importance of parental involvement in motivating children to participate in the health checks provided at schools.
A total of 617 students at MIN 8 South Jakarta engaged in health screenings conducted by 30 medical personnel from local Community Health Centers. The screenings encompass various aspects such as nutritional status, blood pressure, blood sugar, and dental check-ups for primary school students. CKG aims to provide these free health checks annually to at least 60 million beneficiaries by the end of 2025, with plans for further expansion to reach the entire Indonesian population in the future.
The program is facilitated through community health centers, integrated health posts, schools, BPJS clinics, offices, and local communities. Utilizing technological innovations like the SATUSEHAT Mobile app and the Ministry of Health’s official WhatsApp channel, CKG ensures efficient delivery of services to benefit the community. To date, over 15 million individuals have benefited from the program, with a recent focus on reaching over 53 million students in schools and madrasahs nationwide.
The implementation of CKG Sekolah signifies a significant step towards enhancing the healthcare system in Indonesia, with a strong emphasis on preventive care and health promotion. Through collaborative efforts between government agencies, healthcare providers, and educational institutions, CKG aims to contribute to the well-being of the Indonesian population and cultivate a healthier future for the nation.
