JAKARTA - The moment of Lebaran homecoming 2026 has arrived, but the enthusiasm to return home should not make us neglect our physical condition. The results of the Free Health Check (CKG) held at Gambir Station since Monday (16/3) revealed an interesting fact: the majority of travelers who screened still had the habit of smoking and blood pressure above normal.
The service, located at the North Arrival Gate of Gambir Station, is an important "alarm" for travelers before traveling long distances.
High Blood Pressure and Smoking as 'Champions'
Dr. Radhiya Dhifanjanu from the Sawah Besar District Health Center revealed that of the many passengers who checked themselves, hypertension and a history of smoking were the most dominant findings.
"So far, the most common is high blood pressure and smoking habits. There were quite a few above normal, even some were overweight," explained Dr. Radhiya.
This is a serious concern, considering that long journeys by public transport require excellent body conditions. Uncontrolled blood pressure, coupled with an unhealthy lifestyle, can trigger the risk of catastrophic diseases that are dangerous in the middle of the journey.
Health Check Procedure: Short and Useful
For those of you who are waiting for the departure schedule or have just arrived, there is no harm in stopping by the CKG post. The procedure is very simple:
Registration: Just prepare NIK or your identity.
Physical Examination: Officers will measure weight, height, and waist circumference.
Medical Screening: Blood pressure and blood sugar level check.
Extra: Dental examinations and rapid screening for eyes and ears are also available.
Quick Handling at the Location
Don't worry if the results of the examination show a less than good figure. The medical team has prepared a category of fatality (low, medium, to high) to determine the handling. "If the pressure is already high, for example above 140/90, we can immediately give medicine on the spot," added dr. Radhiya.
Working together with the Indonesian Red Cross (PMI), this service will continue to be on standby until after the Lebaran holiday. This is a golden opportunity for travelers to get instant education on healthy lifestyles before gathering with their families in their hometowns.
