The Free Health Check in Schools program, known as CKG Sekolah, was officially launched on August 4, 2025. This initiative, which started in 12 schools simultaneously, received a positive response from students. Fritz Edward Siregar, Deputy for Information Coordination and Communication Evaluation at the Presidential Communication Office (PCO), emphasized that CKG Sekolah is a vital step in nurturing Indonesia’s golden generation. The program is part of the broader CKG initiative that kicked off in February 2025.
President Prabowo Subianto’s administration views CKG as a crucial element in the Fast Results for the Best Outcomes program. The goal is to promote the health and well-being of students across elementary, middle, and high schools nationwide. At the launch event at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Negeri (MIN) 8 in South Jakarta, Fritz highlighted the significance of engaging parents to encourage their children to participate in the health checks.
The event at MIN 8 South Jakarta saw 617 students undergoing health assessments conducted by medical personnel from local Community Health Centers. The screenings cover various aspects such as nutritional status, blood pressure, blood sugar, dental checks, mental health, reproductive health, and more depending on the grade level. CKG, launched on February 10, 2025, aims to revamp Indonesia’s healthcare system by focusing on preventive and promotive care.
The program targets to benefit 60 million people by the end of 2025, with plans to expand further in the future. CKG services are accessible through various channels, including community health centers, schools, and the SATUSEHAT Mobile app. As of July 30, 2025, over 15 million individuals have benefited from the program, including millions of students in schools across Indonesia. The ultimate goal is to reach the entire Indonesian population and create a healthier society.
