MEDAN - Vice President (Vice President) Gibran Rakabuming Raka ensures equal access to health to remote areas, such as the implementation of the Free Health Check (CKG) program at the Puskesmas level.
"This activity is part of the government's commitment to equalizing access to basic services, especially in the health sector," said Gibran accompanied by the Governor of North Sumatra (North Sumatra) Bobby Nasution at the Sigomopul Health Center, Humbang Hasundutan Regency, North Sumatra, Friday, May 16, reported by ANTARA.
The vice president said that the CKG program is one of the strategic steps in building healthy and productive human resources (HR), not only in urban areas, but also in remote areas.
Currently, according to Gibran, it is important to increase the socialization of the CKG program so that the benefits are felt more widely by the community.
"Early detection is the key in preventing disease from developing into a more serious condition," said Gibran.
The Vice President hopes that the CKG program can continue to be expanded and reach more people, especially those living in remote areas and outside Java.
"The distribution of health services is no longer just a discourse, but is present in the community. Building a strong, inclusive, and sustainable primary health system throughout the country," said Gibran.
