Head of the Central Java Health Office (Kadinkes) Yunita Diyah Suminar revealed that the number of applicants for the Free Health Check (CKG) program in Central Java since its launch until now has reached 49 thousand people.

"In Central Java after being 'launched' on February 10, 2025, CKG registrants reached 49 thousand, the highest in Indonesia, followed by East Java and West Java. This means that the people of Central Java responded well to CKG activities," he said, in Semarang, Friday, February 28, which was confiscated by Antara.

This was conveyed on the sidelines of the CKG socialization to the ranks of the Family Empowerment and Welfare Mobilization Team (TP PKK) which took place online.

According to him, the socialization to the PKK TP was carried out to boost registrants and CKG participants even though the awareness of the Central Java community to check themselves was quite high.

He explained that CKG is a health check that residents will get every birthday, as a preventive and promotive effort to prevent chronic and degenerate diseases.

The CKG program is given to all Indonesian people starting from newborns (0-2 days), toddlers and preschool children (1-6 years old), school age (7-17 years old), adults (18-59 years old), and the elderly (above 60 years old).

The types of examinations carried out are based on the age and health vulnerabilities suffered.

For newborns aged 0-2 days, examinations include examination of critical congenital heart disease, G6PD deficiency, bile disease and bile ducts, growth, congenital hyperthyroidism and congenital adrenal hyperplasia.

Meanwhile, examinations for toddlers include growth, development, tuberculosis, ears, eyes, teeth, talasemia, and diabetes mellitus.

There are two stages of adult examination. Stage one includes blood pressure, diabetes mellitus, nutrition, tuberculosis, breast cancer, lung cancer, uterine neck cancer, colon cancer, and COPD.

There are also ear, eyes, liver examinations, examinations of prospective brides and teeth

Phase two of adult examinations, stroke, heart including lipid and EKG profiles, kidney examination, and liver cancer or cirrhosis examination. Especially for the elderly, the examination is added with a geriatric check.

For those who cannot access the One Sehat Mobile application, he said, they can still enjoy CKG facilities, namely the way to visit the health facility of the Puskesmas and bring their identity.

The Central Java Health Office also opened a call service 0811-262-2000 or service via Whatsapp at 0811-2622-200.

Meanwhile, the Chairman of the Central Java PKK TP, Nawal Arafah Yasin, invited all cadres to play an active role because CKG is the government's effort to prosper the people through the national health system.

According to him, CKG is the fastest resulting program from the Prabowo-Gibran government so that it invites PKK cadres throughout Central Java to play an active role, one of which is by downloading the "One Healthy Mobile" application, and socializing how it is used for residents.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you can appeal to all members and cadres of TP PKK, socialize, mobilize the community, in various meetings to attend free health checks according to age groups," he said.

PKK cadres in remote areas, he said, have an important role to play in socializing this, because the socialization provided increases the health and welfare of residents according to the 10 PKK Basic Programs.

Nawal also invited all cadres to continue to improve the competence of human resources related to CKG and health in general. This cooperation can be carried out across agencies, such as the BKKBN to the local Health Office.
