Jakarta – The government continues to strengthen the implementation of the Free Health Check (CKG) Program as part of its efforts to expand access to quality healthcare services for the public. The program is targeted to reach more than 100 million citizens through preventive health checks implemented in stages across various regions.
The Indonesian Government Communications Agency (Bakom) revealed that 100 million participants have participated in the Free Health Check (CKG) program. The program has been implemented in more than 10,000 community health centers (Puskesmas).
“Throughout 2025, the CKG program served more than 70 million participants. Entering 2026, as of early May 2026, that number has increased by more than 30 million people. A total of 100 million Indonesians have received the CKG program, and this program is running in more than 10,000 community health centers (Puskesmas) in 514 regencies/cities throughout Indonesia,” he said.
Qodari also revealed that 4.8 million children have undergone health checks. The screenings were conducted in 48,000 schools.
“Specifically for school-age children, based on data from January 1, 2026, to May 3, the Ministry of Health has screened 4.8 million children in 48,000 schools across Indonesia,” he said.
Indonesian Minister of Health, Budi Gunadi Sadikin, explained that the scope of the CKG Program continues to expand through collaboration with health facilities, local governments, and various health service partners. He stated that the program focuses on basic examinations and comprehensive public health screenings.
“We continue to expand the reach of services so that the public has more equitable access to health checks,” he explained.
Budi Gunadi Sadikin added that the government is also strengthening the recording and follow-up system for examination results to ensure that the public receives further health services when needed. According to him, strengthening preventive services will be an important foundation for improving the quality of national health care.
“This program is expected to foster a culture of healthy living and increase public awareness of the importance of health checks,” he said.
In addition to increasing access to health services, the CKG program is also considered to help strengthen the capacity of the national health system through more integrated public health data collection. This data will form the basis for developing more targeted and sustainable health policies.
Through the expansion of the CKG Program, the government is optimistic that the quality of national health services can continue to improve. This step also underscores the government’s commitment to providing inclusive, preventive, and equitable health services for all Indonesians.
