BISNISTIME.COM, JAKARTA – Tuesday February 11, 2025, the Free Health Check-Up (PKG) program for Indonesian citizens who have a birthday begins. Symbolically, at several health service points such as community health centers, the program was officially launched. At the Tebet Community Health Center, South Jakarta, Deputy Minister of Transmigration Viva Yoga Mauladi, accompanied by Deputy I of the Presidential Communications Office Isra Ramli, Spokesperson for the Ministry of Health Drg Widiawati, MKM; Acting Head of Tebet Community Health Center Dr. Santayana, and Head of Tebet Sub-district Dyan Airlangga reviewed the implementation of PKG for residents there, on Monday (10/02).
While directly reviewing the program, Viva Yoga gave support to the elderly, mothers and children, and other communities to remain enthusiastic, maintain health, and implement nutritious and healthy eating patterns.
Viva Yoga also listened directly to the medical data of the health of the elderly, mothers and children, and other communities after a health check. He was delighted to receive good expressions from patients and health workers who said their health was good.
To dozens of journalists who attended the press conference at the entrance to the Tebet Community Health Center, Viva Yoga said that the PKG was carried out to implement the mandate of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia Article 28A which reads everyone has the right to live healthy and has the right to maintain life and livelihood. “Also to realize the Asta Cita promise of President Prabowo Subianto to provide free services to all Indonesian people,” he said. The target of services provided is said to reach 281 million people.
According to him, PKG is part of supporting the Free Nutritious Meal (MBG) program. By combining PKG and MBG, it is hoped that the nation’s children will grow up healthy, strong, intelligent, and smart because there is nutritional intake and disease prevention. “We are here together with the Presidential Communications Office, the Ministry of Health, and local governments in order to make people’s lives healthy in accordance with the tagline one healthy for all healthy,” said the UI Postgraduate alumnus.
To achieve a healthy life, Viva Yoga firmly invited people to flock to community health centers or hospitals to have health checks. “This is a step to change the view of getting sick before seeking treatment,” he said. According to him, preventing is better than curing. “To find out if our body is healthy or sick, we need to have an examination,” he said.
PKG is said to be continuing. He hopes that people will not be afraid to have health checks. “With PKG, we are changing the expression that health is expensive,” he added
