Guess what? 🎂 In Indonesia, everyone gets a special birthday gift from the government—a free health check-up! 🩺
Starting this week, Indonesia launched a new program where people can get a free health screening on their birthdays. How cool is that?
What’s included?
- Blood pressure checks 💓
- Tests to see if you’re at risk for heart problems or stroke 🧬
- Eye tests 👀
The program aims to help prevent illnesses before they become serious. It targets children under six and adults aged 18 and over. So whether you’re turning 6 or 60, you can take part!
Health Minister Budi Gunadi Sadikin said this is the biggest health initiative they’ve ever done. The goal is to keep everyone in the country healthy and strong.
Why is this important?
According to the World Health Organization, many people in Indonesia suffer from stroke, heart disease, and tuberculosis. By catching health issues early, doctors can help people live longer and healthier lives.
So, if you live in Indonesia, remember to get your free health check on your birthday! 🎁 Stay healthy and enjoy your special day! 🥳
