Ahead Of The Inauguration, 239 Regional Heads Chosen For Health Checks At The Ministry Of Home Affairs Today

The elected regional head of the 2024 Pilkada results registered and underwent a medical examination at the Ministry of Home Affairs (Kemendagri), Jakarta, Sunday, February 16 as part of preparations for the simultaneous inauguration on Thursday, February 20.

Deputy Minister of Home Affairs Bima Arya explained that a total of 239 elected regional heads from Sumatra and Java are scheduled to undergo basic health checks, such as blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol.

This examination is fundamental because they are also asked to convey the results of medical checks from their respective regions.

Health checks were carried out in three sessions, namely 08.00 a.m., 10.00 p.m. local time, 10.00 p.m. local time, and 13.00 p.m. local time. Meanwhile, 242 elected regional heads from Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Maluku, Papua, and Bali and Nusa Tenggara are scheduled to undergo examination on Monday 17 February.

Bima Arya emphasized that the purpose of this examination was to ensure that the health condition of the regional head remained prime ahead of the inauguration and the next series of activities.

The examination was carried out at the Ministry of Home Affairs Office to make it more practical, considering that apart from medical examinations, regional heads were also given an explanation regarding the series of inaugurations.

Bima also denied the assumption that the examination at the Ministry of Home Affairs was carried out for budget efficiency, because each regional head had carried out a medical check-up in their respective regions.

In addition to the examination, they also filled out registration and received directions on the series of inaugurations which will take place until the retreat at the Magelang Military Academy on February 21.

Based on observations at the location, several regional heads who have completed the examination include North Sumatra elected governor Bobby Nasution, Central Java elected governor Ahmad Luthfi, and West Java elected governor Dedi Mulyadi.

They stated that the results of the examination showed good health conditions and were ready to undergo the inauguration and the next series of activities.

Bobby said that the results of his examination showed blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol were in normal condition. Ahmad Luthfi and Dedi Mulyadi also stated the same thing, asserting that they are in good health and ready to follow the entire process until the inauguration.
