Indonesia has introduced a free medical check-up programme for all its 280 million citizens.
A statement from the Chief of the Presidential Communication Office (PCO), Hasan Nasbi, and made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), said the healthcare initiative was the first of its kind.
The initiative, tagged the Cek Kesehatan Gratis (CKG) programme, aims to promote preventive healthcare, eliminating barriers to accessing healthcare services.
Nasbi said that citizens can access the programme through the Satu Sehat mobile app or by visiting the nearest government health clinic.
He said that the CKG programme marks a significant shift in Indonesia’s healthcare approach, prioritising preventive care over expensive treatments.
“By detecting health issues early, the programme aims to promote positive and healthier behaviour, reducing household costs for treating sick family members.
“The initiative has earned global recognition, with WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus applauding Indonesia’s commitment to preventive healthcare,” he said.
