JAKARTA - Minister of Communication and Digital Affairs, Meutya Hafid, emphasized that she would ensure connectivity infrastructure, as the main foundation for the implementation of the School's Free Health Check Program (CKG).

The free national health program, which has now entered the digital era, is expected to target more than 53 million students in 282,317 schools from Sabang to Merauke.

"When this is done massively, the data will be extraordinary, so the availability of good connectivity is important," said Meutya in her official broadcast during a visit to CKG Sekolah at SMPK Penabur Gading Serpong, Monday, July 4.

In line with the Minister of Communication and Trade, the Director General of Pharmacy and Medical Devices of the Ministry of Health, Lucia Rizka Andalusia, also emphasized the importance of supporting connectivity infrastructure for the implementation of the School CKG.

According to him, some regions have limited internet connections, so they need support from the Ministry of Communication and Trade to provide connectivity infrastructure.

"We use the application to input all data from this examination. That's why Komdigi's support related to internet signals is very important," he said.

The School CKG Program is a concrete step for the government in improving the health quality of Indonesian children, especially school-age students who will become Indonesia's next generation of gold in the future.

CKG Sekolah menjadi Program Hasil Terbaik Cepat (PHTC) kedua pemerintahan Presiden Prabowo Subianto setelah Program Makan Bergizi Gratis (MBG).
