Jakarta, September 22, 2026 – The Ministry of Creative Economy/Creative Economy Agency organized a Free Health Check (CKG) program for 800 employees as a strategic step to strengthen the quality of productive and competitive creative economy human resources. The event took place on September 21–24, 2026, at the Auditorium of the Gedung Film Pesona Indonesia, Jakarta.
The Ministry of Creative Economy (Ekraf) promotes healthy creative talent through Free Health Check-Ups for 800 employees at the Auditorium of the Pesona Indonesia Film Building, Jakarta, Tuesday (22/9/2026).
This Free Health Check program is aimed at the early detection of disease risk factors and pre-disease conditions, while encouraging a workplace transformation from a curative mindset toward prevention. Healthy and resilient human resources serve as the main foundation for driving the 17 national creative economy subsectors sustainably.
“We appreciate the Free Health Check program organized by the Ministry of Health and the Jakarta Provincial Health Office because it is immensely beneficial. This free health check program is essential, not only to anticipate or determine health conditions, but also to encourage maintaining a healthy lifestyle,” Minister of Creative Economy, Teuku Riefky Harsya, stated while inspecting the execution of the health check on Tuesday (9/22).
The CKG screening services include height and weight measurements, waist circumference, blood pressure, laboratory tests, dental health, visual inspection with acetic acid (IVA) and pap smear tests, eye and ear examinations, as well as vaccinations.
Uniquely, this health check integrates the activation of local Intellectual Property (IP) in the form of the mascot characters Subi & Neo, two comic strip characters in the form of a cat and a dog officially released by the Ministry of Creative Economy. The presence of local IP from the character design and comic subsector is utilized as a creative communication instrument to engage employees and the public in adopting a healthy lifestyle interactively and pleasantly.
On the same occasion, Deputy Minister of Health (Wamenkes), Dante Saksono Harbuwono, commended the commitment of the Ministry of Creative Economy in supporting the Ministry of Health's national target for free health checks, which targets 134 million examinations in 2026. Of that target, as of September 2026, it has reached 99 million examinations.

“The Ministry of Creative Economy is always the most active, setting a fine example for other ministries and agencies. The Minister and Deputy Minister of Creative Economy are very proactive in safeguarding the health of their employees, as healthy employees can achieve better productivity,” the Deputy Minister of Health expressed.
The implementation of the Free Health Check within the Ministry of Creative Economy reflects consistency in a series of preventive programs previously conducted. On December 1–3, 2025, a total of 428 participants underwent free health checks at Chubb Square, Thamrin Nine, with the support of three community health centers (puskesmas). Furthermore, a similar program was featured during the National Lunar New Year Harmony event at Lapangan Banteng on February 22–March 1, 2026, reaching 615 participants through collaboration with eight community health centers across Jakarta.
