JAKARTA - The Free Health Check Program (CKG) has officially started today, Monday, February 10, 2025. This program is a birthday gift from the state for the public to conduct health checks, in order to reduce the burden of preventable diseases.

"As a birthday gift for the community, this free health check program is expected to provide health checks for the entire community, from infants to the elderly. This health check will help the public know their health condition," said Director General of Primary Health and Community Dr. Maria Endang Sumiwi, quoted from the website of the Ministry of Health Sehat Negeriku, on Monday, February 10, 2025.

This health check already includes various types of diseases that can be prevented through early detection. This program also answers urgent needs regarding the high mortality rate from diseases that should have been prevented.

Therefore, the Indonesian Ministry of Health strongly urges the Indonesian people to use CKG and come to the nearest health facility. By conducting CKG, the public can know their health status and can take preventive measures if a disease is found.

"Don't wait until you feel sick, come on and check your health. This program is not only for the sick, but for all areas to be able to maintain health from an early age," he added.

To register for CKG, it can be done in the SATUSEHAT Mobile application or alternative registration via WhatsApp with number 081110500567. The chatbot feature at that number will guide the public in registering CKG easily.

After registering, the public can conduct a health check on birthdays, or within a time limit of 30 days after the birthday. Health facilities that can be visited are clinics or health centers in collaboration with BPJS.
