August 12, 2025
SURYA.CO.ID, SURABAYA – Ciputra University (UC) Surabaya, East Java, held a Free Health Check-up Program (PKG) at the UC Corepreneur Building on Tuesday (August 12, 2025).
This activity is the result of a collaboration between UC and the government and other higher education institutions. UC is the first university to respond to this program.
According to UC Rector, Prof. Dr Wirawan Endro Dwi Radianto, M.ScA, CA., Ak., this activity involves healthcare workers from the UC Faculty of Medicine, students, doctors, and medical support from the government.
The target group includes the academic community, outsourced workers, UC tenants, and the community surrounding the Citraland housing complex, with a quota of approximately 3,000 people.
“We want to have a positive impact on the surrounding community, ensuring the academic community and local residents remain healthy. This is part of the university’s role in making a real contribution,” he said.
The Vice Dean for Operations of the UC School of Medicine, Dr. dr. Minarni Wartiningsih, M.Kes, FISCM, FISPH, explained that the examinations covered various aspects of health.
These included weight and height measurements, blood sugar and blood pressure checks, dental, eye, mental health, cervical cancer screening, and lung examinations.
She emphasised the importance of early detection.
“Many people don’t realise they have mild hypertension or other conditions. Through routine annual checkups, we can detect diseases earlier, so treatment can be initiated more quickly and morbidity and mortality can be reduced,” she explained.
The UC School of Medicine deployed 27 healthcare workers to this activity, supported by six medical personnel from the local Community Health Centre (Puskesmas).
In addition to providing services, the UC team also assisted participants who had difficulty entering their health data into the Satu Sehat system.
“Those whose screening results indicate a suspicion of a specific disease will be referred for further examination so they can be properly treated,” he concluded.
This activity is expected to become an annual event and part of efforts to promote a healthy lifestyle on campus and in the surrounding area.
