Cirebon’s Free Health Check-Up Draws the Crowd, Early Detection Awareness Grows Strong and Loud

PT Anugrah Argon Medica through Argon Peduli, continue to strengthen their commitment to supporting public health through the “Cek Segitiga” Free Health Check-Up program held on Sunday, May 24, 2026 at Stadion Bima, Cirebon. The program is part of an effort to encourage greater public awareness of the importance of early detection and routine health screenings as preventive measures to maintain quality of life.

A total of 635 participants registered for the program, with 582 participants taking part in a series of health screenings, including blood sugar, cholesterol, and blood pressure checks. Participants were predominantly from the 41–50 and 51–60 age groups.

Based on the initial screening results, 365 participants, or approximately 62.7 percent, were identified as having certain health risk factors. The screening results showed that 40.5 percent of participants were detected with hypertension, 31.6 percent had high cholesterol levels, and 14.1 percent were indicated as having diabetes. These findings indicate that awareness of regular health check-ups still needs to be further strengthened, including among people in the productive age group.

These findings are also in line with data from the Cirebon City Health Office, which showed that the city’s health screening program coverage in 2025 had only reached 21 percent. This condition serves as a reminder that access to and awareness of routine health screenings still need to be strengthened.

Through this initiative, Argon Peduli together with Dharma Dexa aims to encourage the public to better understand their health conditions from an early stage so that preventive actions and appropriate treatment can be carried out more quickly and effectively. Routine health screenings are considered important in helping reduce the risk of non-communicable diseases, which often develop without noticeable early symptoms.

PT Djembatan Dua also actively supported the program by providing high-quality blood pressure monitors to help ensure the accuracy and reliability of blood pressure examination results for participants. Blood pressure screening serves as an important initial step in routine health monitoring as part of promotive and preventive healthcare efforts.

The GoApotik team also supported the event by providing education on the ease and convenience of accessing healthcare products through digital platforms. Participants were encouraged to directly download the GoApotik application via the Play Store and App Store as a fast and practical solution for daily healthcare product needs.

General Practitioner of RS Mitra Plumbon Cirebon, dr. Ruhil S., stated that hypertension was the most common condition found among participants. According to him, high salt intake, fast food consumption, and excessive sugar intake remain common risk factors found in the community.

“Many participants only discovered that they had high blood pressure, high blood sugar, or high cholesterol after joining this screening. In fact, these conditions can develop into complications such as stroke, heart disease, and kidney disorders if not detected early,” he said.

HR & Sustainability Director of PT Medela Potentia Tbk, Mrs. Nancy Kartika, stated that Argon Peduli remains committed to continuously organizing community health programs that provide direct benefits while encouraging greater awareness of early detection and healthy living.

“Through Argon Peduli, we aim to continue contributing to public health awareness by encouraging people to pay closer attention to their health conditions from an early stage. We believe that preventive measures such as routine health check-ups play an important role in improving quality of life,” said Mrs. Nancy Kartika.

The event was also attended by Head of Business Development of PT Anugrah Argon Medica (AAM), Mr. Jimmie; Head of AAM Cirebon Branch, Mr. Rivai Siahaan; and National Business & Sales Manager Distribution of PT Djembatan Dua, Mr. Kasan Suwignyo, who also directly interacted with participants and took part in the community health screening activities.

Through collaboration with various healthcare partners, Argon Peduli continues to support broader access to healthcare services while also encouraging the growth of a healthy lifestyle culture and greater awareness of preventive measures as part of efforts to build a better quality of life.
