"It has reached 70 million people as of December 2025. Thank God, it is running smoothly," Deputy II of the Government Communications Agency (Bakom) Ghina Ghaliya said during a monitoring of the CKG implementation in Jakarta on Tuesday.
She highlighted that the CKG program is a government effort to conduct massive and periodic health monitoring to prevent non-communicable diseases.
While the program has been accessed by over 70 million citizens, Ghaliya acknowledged that the lack of public awareness regarding health check-ups remains an issue that needs evaluation.
To address this, she noted the government will implement an outreach strategy, eliminating the need to visit a community health center (puskesmas) to access the health check services.
"We will carry out outreach by going to workplaces, schools, government offices, and even malls. In my opinion, this program should not be missed, people should get a health check at least once a year," she remarked.
For citizens found to have health issues during the screening, Ghaliya noted that the puskesmas will immediately provide medical treatment or a referral.
Furthermore, she emphasized that there are no complicated requirements for citizens who wish to participate in the health check program.
The Indonesian government started the CKG program on February 10, 2025, aimed at improving the health quality of Indonesians.
With a target of reaching the entire Indonesian population of about 280 million citizens, the health screening program is one of the largest health programs in the world, operating on the principle of leaving no one behind.
