JAKARTA - The Pulang Pisau Regency Health Service, Central Kalimantan provides facilities for the Free Health Check (CKG) program service for visitors to the 2026 Ramadan Market to ensure that they check their basic health condition at least once periodically.
"This program is made so that the public has the opportunity to know their health condition early," said Acting Head of the Pulang Pisau Pande Health Office, Pande Putu Gina, as quoted by ANTARA.
According to him, this activity was carried out in conjunction with the Ramadhan Market operation so that it is easier for people who come while shopping.
This also increases awareness of the importance of early detection of severe diseases in Pulang Pisau Regency in a sustainable and equitable manner for all groups.
"The momentum of the Ramadhan Market is very appropriate, so health checks can be carried out while carrying out activities without having to take special time to health facilities," he said.
He explained that the types of examinations provided include blood pressure (tensi) measurement, blood sugar, cholesterol and uric acid examinations. This basic examination is to find out the initial condition of public health before being directed to the follow-up service if there are indications of certain health disorders.
"This basic examination is important as an initial step because from the results of this examination, health workers can see the potential risk of diseases that need further attention," he said.
The free health services are supported by health workers from the Pulang Pisau Health Center with a total of six officers. They share the task of conducting examinations, recording results, and providing brief education to the public about healthy lifestyles and disease prevention.
This examination, according to him, was not accompanied by direct medication. The main focus of the activity is the initial check-up and early discovery of risk factors for diseases that require further treatment through official health facilities in the local area.
If the results of the examination show a severe health indication, the public is directed to go to the health center so that they can get further examination, therapy, and treatment according to the applicable medical standards and adjusted to the condition of each patient.
"Follow-up at the health center is very important so that disease management is carried out under control," said Pande.
Cases of high blood pressure and blood sugar are of special concern because they require long-term treatment.
In addition, it needs to be accompanied by lifestyle changes, including dietary patterns, physical activity and adherence to therapy recommended by health workers on a regular basis.
"Treatment is not only about medicine, but also a commitment to a healthy lifestyle so that the results are optimal and the quality of life is maintained," he said.
The Pulang Pisau Regency Health Office hopes that the community will be more concerned about their health, not waiting for illness and utilizing the available health services to prevent early disease complications and improve the quality of life of the people of Pulang Pisau.
