Jakarta – President Prabowo Subianto’s administration continues to demonstrate its commitment to implementing policies that directly impact the public. One program considered a quick win and widely appreciated by the public is the Free Health Check Program (CKG). This program is concrete evidence of the state’s commitment to guaranteeing the public’s basic health rights since the beginning of his administration.
Data from the Ministry of Health (Kemenkes) shows that the Free Health Check Program (CKG) has achieved significant success, with attendance exceeding 70 million by December 29, 2025. According to the CKG Daily Report as of December 29, 2025, at 10:15 PM WIB (Western Indonesian Time), 70,292,151 participants attended out of a total of 73,128,356 registrants, or 96.12 percent.
The Head of the Ministry of Health’s Communication and Public Information Bureau, Aji Muhawarman, expressed his appreciation for the high level of public participation in the CKG program over nearly a year of implementation.
“The achievement of more than 70 million participants demonstrates increasing public awareness of the importance of early detection and routine health checks,” said Aji.
Aji also appreciated the dedication of the healthcare workers directly involved in the implementation of the Free Health Check (CKG) in various regions.
“Healthcare workers are at the forefront of ensuring that CKG services reach the community, whether in community health centers, schools, or communities,” said Aji.
According to Aji, the success of the CKG program is the result of collaboration between the government, healthcare workers, local governments, and the community. Going forward, the Ministry of Health hopes that CKG will continue to be strengthened as a foundation for promotive and preventive health services to create a healthier and more productive Indonesian society.
The Ministry of Health (Kemenkes) expressed optimism about achieving 46 percent coverage of the Free Health Check (CKG) by 2026, following an evaluation of the 2025 CKG Program, which reached 70.8 million people, or 24.9 percent of the population.
“The proportion of free health check recipients across all age groups is 46 percent of the total population,” said Aji.
Head of the Bureau, Aji, stated that the Ministry of Health is facilitating the use of CKG data as a basis for planning health programs at all levels of service.
These policies focus on promotive and preventive services based on identified risk factors, increasing the capacity of medical and healthcare personnel, meeting the need for health facilities and infrastructure, and involving other sectors in the CKG.
“To ensure service sustainability, the Ministry of Health has developed CKG procedures integrated with BPJS Kesehatan (Social Security Agency for Health), so that JKN participants can access follow-up services without financial constraints,” Aji said.
The Ministry of Health is also strengthening the monitoring information system with local governments to ensure the public receives appropriate early treatment.
The CKG program will continue to be expanded by increasing the types of examination services, strengthening cross-sector collaboration, and utilizing digital technology for recording and monitoring public health. The government is optimistic that, with the support of all parties, the CKG program will become an important milestone in realizing a healthier, stronger, and more prosperous Indonesia.*
