Jakarta — President Prabowo Subianto has positioned the Free Health Check Program (CKG) as a key pillar in strengthening national preventive health services. The program, initiated by the Ministry of Health (Kemenkes), has received widespread public appreciation, as reflected in the high participation rate throughout 2025.
According to the latest data, the number of people utilizing CKG services has exceeded 70 million. According to the Ministry of Health’s daily report, 70,292,151 participants attended out of a total of 73,128,356 registrants, representing a 96.12 percent attendance rate. This achievement demonstrates the high level of public trust in the free health services provided by the government.
The Head of the Ministry of Health’s Communication and Public Information Bureau, Aji Muhawarman, stated that public enthusiasm is an important indicator of increasing awareness of the importance of early disease detection.
“The achievement of more than 70 million participants demonstrates that public awareness of the importance of regular health check-ups continues to grow. This is a crucial foundation for building a stronger, prevention-oriented health system,” said Aji Muhawarman.
Overall, the evaluation of the 2025 CKG implementation noted that the program has reached 70.8 million people, equivalent to 24.9 percent of Indonesia’s total population. This achievement underpins the government’s optimism about expanding CKG coverage in 2026.
Aji stated that the Ministry of Health is targeting CKG coverage to reach 46 percent of the total population by 2026, encompassing all age groups.
“The proportion of free health check-up recipients across all age groups is 46 percent of the total population,” said Aji.
The CKG program is considered a significant milestone in the history of the national health system. For the first time, the government is providing free health check-ups to all people, as part of a transformation in health services that emphasizes promotive and preventive efforts.
In addition to receiving a positive response from the public, the successful implementation of the CKG program was also supported by the involvement of thousands of healthcare workers across various regions. The program is implemented in 38 provinces, involving 514 districts/cities, and supported by more than 10,000 healthcare facilities throughout Indonesia.
As one of President Prabowo Subianto’s quick-win programs, the CKG is expected to serve as a strong foundation for building a culture of health awareness in the community.
