JAKARTA - Entering the second year of the implementation of the Free Health Check (CKG), in 2026, the Ministry of Health focuses this program on the management and handling of the results of the examination, especially for people who are detected to have health problems.

Health Minister Budi Gunadi Sadikin emphasized that CKG does not stop at the screening process, but continues with free integrated prevention and treatment. This focus marks a shift from mere examination to disease control and a real improvement in public health.

"Our target in 2026 is not only to do health checks, but to ensure that people are really healthy. Not only the examination is free, but the prevention and treatment are also free," said Budi.

He said the government guaranteed free treatment for the first 15 days for people who were detected to have health problems through CKG. Furthermore, the treatment was continued through the National Health Insurance scheme for active BPJS Health participants, while those who have not registered were directed to immediately activate their membership.

On the same occasion, Director General of Public Health, Maria Endang Sumiwi, conveyed the evaluation of the 2025 data showed health challenges in various age groups.

He mentioned a number of conditions found, namely 6 out of 100 babies were born with low birth weight (BBLR), 31 percent of toddlers had cavities, one in five adolescents had blood pressure above normal, one in three adults were obese, and 51 percent of the elderly had hypertension.

"Starting in 2026, patients with hypertension and diabetes will immediately receive medication at the Puskesmas on the same day," said Endang.,

In line with this, the Government Communication Agency emphasizes the importance of massive communication orchestration to increase public awareness in utilizing CKG services.

The CKG program is considered one of the health programs with the largest number of beneficiaries, because it covers the entire population. The government also encourages the strengthening of public communication so that the community actively uses this service.

A number of regions have implemented service innovations, such as Pangkep Regency with the Healthy Boat Ball Pick-up Service of Happy Island, as well as Pacitan Health Center which integrates physical and mental health services through the First Aid for Psychological Wounds (P3LP) program.
