The number of participants in the free health check program will reach 50 million by November 2025
Jakarta – As of early November 2025, approximately 53.6 million Indonesians had registered for the Free Health Check Program (CKG), with more than 50.5 million people having undergone the examination through both the School CKG and general programs.
Minister of Health, Budi Gunadi Sadikin, called this achievement a major step in strengthening public awareness of the importance of health. “The achievement of more than 50 million participants is not just a number, but a concrete sign of increasing public participation in maintaining health,” he said.
According to Budi, the CKG results indicate serious challenges that require an immediate response. Based on data from the end of October 2025, 95.8 percent of adult participants were categorized as physically inactive, while 41.9 percent experienced dental caries, 32.9 percent had central obesity, and 24.4 percent were overweight or obese.
“This is a strong warning that physical activity and a healthy lifestyle must be a top priority,” he stressed.
Budi emphasized that the CKG is not only a mass examination, but also a strategic tool for the early detection and management of non-communicable diseases.
“The sooner we identify our health conditions, the greater the chance of recovery and preventing chronic diseases that can lead to disability and even death,” he explained.
Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka also fully supports the program’s implementation. While reviewing the CKG activities at SDN Ledok 05 Salatiga, Central Java, he encouraged students to regularly undergo health checks.
“Get regular health checks and cultivate a healthy lifestyle from an early age. If you’re healthy, you’ll be more enthusiastic about learning,” he said to the students.
In addition to the health checks, the activity also included immunizations as part of the School Children’s Immunization Month (BIAS). The types of vaccines provided included DT for grade 1 and TD for grades 2 and 5.
The principal of SDN Ledok 05, Nurul Hidayati, assessed that this program had a significant positive impact on students.
“Activities like this raise awareness of the importance of maintaining health from an early age. We are grateful for the government’s attention to children,” she said.
The government hopes that, through collaboration between health workers, schools, and local governments, the CKG program can build a sustainable culture of healthy living. This step is an important foundation in realizing a strong generation towards Golden Indonesia 2045.
