Jakarta (VNA) - Indonesia has launched the Free Health Check (CKG) programme as a national initiative to improve public health quality and reduce preventable diseases.

According to Minister of Population and Family Development/Head of the National Population and Family Planning Agency (BKKBN) Wihaji expressed his hope that the CKG will attract the participation of Indonesian citizens.

The ministry has deployed more than one million personnel at healthcare stations to support and oversee the implementation of the programme.

These personnel are responsible for raising public awareness of the significance of the programme.

A combination of digital and traditional communication strategies has been utilised, enhancing the effectiveness of social media, community radio, and outreach activities to engage target groups across the country, including remote areas.

The programme aims to benefit Indonesia’s entire population of over 280 million people, regardless of age. The government has allocated 4.7 trillion IDR (287.6 million USD) to ensure that no one is left behind.

In its initial phase, the programme targets children aged 0-6 years and individuals over 18. From July, it will expand to schools, covering children aged 7-17./.
