After reviewing the Free Health Check (CKG) program at South Tangerang 6 High School on Monday, Abdullah highlighted that Sweden and Norway have implemented policies where students receive not only academic report cards but also health reports about their physical condition throughout their schooling.
"Hopefully, we can create a similar report card. In addition to school academic performance, we can have a health report card," he remarked.
He explained that the health report card allows students and parents to have a clearer understanding of their overall health status, which will encourage the development of a healthier and more productive generation.
"This program helps us produce a healthy Indonesian generation and build a better nation in the future," he stated.
Abdullah remarked that this initiative aligns with the ongoing implementation of the CKG program in schools, which the government is intensifying throughout the year.
At the same event, Head of the Presidential Communications Office (PCO), Hasan Nasbi, stated that CKG for students will not only focus on physical examinations but also lay the foundation for a long-term, integrated digital medical record system.
He stated that the student health examination data will be collected and integrated into the national medical record system to build a generational health database planned by the government.
This system will allow more comprehensive tracking of family health histories while also facilitating early disease prevention and treatment efforts, he elaborated.
"We will have more comprehensive data, which is easier to manage and track. The origins of diseases are also easier to trace," he stated.
The CKG program for schools is launched on Monday, targeting 53 million students across Indonesia.
During his visit, Nasbi observed the health screening process, which included fitness tests, dental, vision, and hearing checks, height and weight measurements, questionnaires, and blood tests for students.
