Jakarta — The Free Health Check-Up (CKG) service was one of the featured event series at the 10th-anniversary celebration of the Nutrition Goes to School (NGTS) Program on 23 August 2026, at Plaza Insan Berprestasi, Complex of the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education of the Republic of Indonesia, Jakarta. In collaboration with the DKI Jakarta Provincial Health Office as a co-organizer partner, this initiative provided early health detection access for event participants, comprising teachers, education personnel, and members of the public in attendance.
The service covered 11 screening components, ranging from anthropometric measurements of nutritional status, blood pressure, and blood chemistry screening (blood glucose, cholesterol, and uric acid) to visual acuity and dental examinations. The service post also provided early detection facilities for cervical cancer via IVA tests and clinical breast examinations (SADANIS), served through eight examination desks equipped with an integrated digital queuing system.
All examination results were directly integrated with the SATUSEHAT digital health record platform of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia. This technological integration allows participants to regularly monitor their personal health status even after the decade-long NGTS celebration concludes. The tangible benefits of this screening were directly experienced by the attendees. One participant expressed appreciation after completing the entire series of examinations, “I feel healthy and much more relieved. Now I know my health condition for sure. This activity is extremely beneficial for attendees because we could receive a complete check-up for free, from eye and dental checks to cholesterol and cervical screening.”
Another participant also appreciated the service for helping detect potential physical issues that often go unnoticed, “I feel very helped. All this time, I felt completely fine, but after the check-up, it turned out there was a slight issue with my eyes, probably from staring at device screens for too long. This is why free health check-ups like this are important, as medical examinations help us identify conditions that need prompt follow-up.”
This collaboration with the DKI Jakarta Provincial Health Office emphasizes the importance of early detection in maintaining the physical well-being of the school community and the wider public. Through the provision of digitally integrated, free health services, the 10th-anniversary celebration of NGTS continues to foster an AWESOME generation—Active, Well-nourished, and Smart of Me, that cares for their physical well-being for a healthier future.
