Jakarta – The government continues to strengthen access to healthcare services for the public through the Free Health Check (CKG) Program, which has now reached 100 million Indonesians.
The program, implemented at various healthcare facilities, is considered a strategic step in building a more preventative, inclusive, and equitable national healthcare system, reaching all levels of society.
In addition to expanding access to health checks, CKG also accelerates the early detection of various diseases, allowing for faster and more effective treatment.
The Head of the Indonesian Government Communications Agency (Bakom), M. Qodari, stated that this achievement demonstrates the public’s strong enthusiasm for the government’s health programs.
According to him, the implementation of CKG, which involves more than 10,000 community health centers (Puskesmas), has become an important foundation for equitable national healthcare services.
“Throughout 2025, the Community-Based Health Program (CKG) served more than 70 million participants. By early May 2026, that number had increased by more than 30 million. A total of 100 million Indonesians had received the CKG,” said Qodari.
He emphasized that the government would continue and expand the program so that the benefits of healthcare services could be enjoyed by all levels of society without being constrained by costs.
According to him, the success of the CKG is clear evidence of the government’s commitment to ensuring access to quality healthcare at the grassroots level.
The program’s positive impacts are also beginning to be seen in several regions. The Head of the West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) Provincial Health Office, Lalu Hamzi Fikri, explained that the massive implementation of the CKG has succeeded in accelerating the reduction in stunting rates while strengthening tuberculosis (TB) management.
“The results of the central-level evaluation in the first quarter of 2026 showed a significant decrease in the stunting prevalence rate in NTB to 12.88 percent. This figure is much better than the target of 17.5 percent,” he emphasized.
According to Hamzi, this achievement demonstrates that a preventive approach and routine health checks can improve the overall quality of public health.
Furthermore, early detection is considered to help local governments take quicker interventions for vulnerable groups.
Meanwhile, Rina Sari, Acting Head of the Gunung Mas Health Office in Central Kalimantan, stated that her office continues to expand its service reach through a community outreach program.
“We will continue to conduct outreach through community health centers (Puskesmas) so that more workers can be served. Hopefully, awareness of the importance of maintaining good health will increase, impacting work productivity,” she said.
The success of reaching 100 million residents through the CKG Program demonstrates the government’s strong commitment to building equitable and sustainable health services.
Amid increasingly complex national health challenges, this initiative is a crucial foundation for creating a healthier, more productive society with a better quality of life.
