The Free Health Check (CKG) program, as described by Senior Expert Hariqo Wibawa Satria at the Presidential Communication Office (PCO), is seen as a crucial first step towards a healthier nation. This initiative aims to shift people’s mindset towards prioritizing their well-being and fostering a culture of health consciousness among the population. Hariqo emphasized the importance of CKG in promoting freedom from disease and urged individuals to make health a lifelong priority. The administration under President Prabowo has implemented various priority programs, such as the “Stop TB” campaign and supporting medical specialists in remote areas, to improve healthcare access and combat illness across Indonesia. Despite the country’s 80th year of independence, disease continues to exert a significant economic and social toll on the population, impacting productivity and GDP. Investing in health is not only a social necessity but also a vital economic strategy, according to Hariqo. He highlighted the prevalence of health issues among Indonesian children, citing diabetes, obesity, and tooth decay as common problems exacerbated by a lack of education and excessive gadget use. The ultimate goal of the CKG program is to reduce illness rates, empower citizens to contribute to national development, and boost economic growth. By enhancing public health and reducing disease prevalence, Indonesia can potentially see a significant rise in GDP and workforce productivity.
