Surabaya – Through Dharma Dexa, Dexa Medica continues to implement Cek Segitiga, a free community health screening program that supports the Indonesian government’s efforts to strengthen the early detection of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Since its launch in 2024, the program has reached more than 15,000 people through blood pressure, blood glucose, and cholesterol screenings, complemented by health education, one-on-one physician consultations, and wellness activities such as Zumba and Pound Fit.
This commitment was reaffirmed in Surabaya on July 12–13, 2026, where 782 participants took part in Cek Segitiga at Lapangan Bogowonto Field and Universitas Surabaya. The program enabled participants to identify their health risk factors while gaining a better understanding of the steps they can take following the screening.
Screening results from both locations revealed that approximately six in ten participants had at least one risk factor for a non-communicable disease, including high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, or high blood glucose.
With the Surabaya event, Cek Segitiga has now reached more than 15,000 participants across multiple cities, including Bandung, Bogor, Cirebon, Jakarta, Karawang, Makassar, Palembang, Solo, Surabaya, South Tangerang, and Yogyakarta.
Nationwide, approximately 63% of participants have been identified with at least one risk factor for a non-communicable disease. Among all individuals screened, 40.05% had high blood pressure, 35.2% had elevated cholesterol levels, and 14.88% had high blood glucose levels. Individual participants may present with more than one risk factor.
These findings highlight that many NCD risk factors remain undetected because they often do not cause noticeable symptoms in their early stages. Regular health screenings are therefore essential to identify these risks early and enable timely intervention before they progress into more serious health complications.
Dr. Sheila, General Practitioner at William Booth Hospital Surabaya, said that unhealthy eating habits, physical inactivity, and inadequate sleep are among the most common factors contributing to the risk of non-communicable diseases.
“Regular health screenings are essential for monitoring blood pressure, blood glucose, and cholesterol levels from an early stage. When risk factors are identified, individuals can immediately adopt healthier lifestyle habits and seek further consultation with healthcare professionals,” said Dr. Sheila.
Cek Segitiga is designed to go beyond simply providing screening results. Participants receive health education tailored to their screening outcomes, have the opportunity to consult directly with physicians, and are encouraged to build healthier habits through group physical activities.
Through this comprehensive approach, participants are expected not only to understand their current health status but also to gain practical guidance on managing and reducing their risk of non-communicable diseases.
Sonny Himawan, Head of Corporate Communications at Dexa Group, said Cek Segitiga reflects Dexa Medica’s ongoing commitment to supporting the transformation of Indonesia’s healthcare system, which increasingly emphasizes health promotion and disease prevention.
“As a national pharmaceutical company, we believe that improving public health begins with prevention. Through Cek Segitiga, we are supporting the government’s health agenda by providing accessible health screenings, health education, physician consultations, and healthy lifestyle activities for communities,” said Sonny.
He added that collaboration is essential to maximize the program’s impact and extend its reach to more communities.
“By collaborating with government institutions, healthcare professionals, educational institutions, and community organizations, we hope to encourage more people to undergo regular health screenings and take preventive action at an early stage,” he said.
Mateus Ramidi, Manager of Dharma Dexa, explained that the Surabaya implementation of Cek Segitiga was intentionally held at two venues to engage participants from diverse backgrounds.
“Selecting Lapangan Bogowonto and Universitas Surabaya enabled the program to reach a broader and more diverse community. We will continue to expand this approach to other cities so that more people can benefit from health screenings and health education,” said Mateus.
As part of its ongoing nationwide initiative, Cek Segitiga is scheduled to return to the Gelora Bung Karno area in Jakarta on Sunday, July 19, 2026.
One participant, Anita, 54, said the program helped her better understand her health condition.
“I didn’t just receive a health screening, I also received a clear explanation of the results and what I should do next. That’s what made this program truly valuable,” she said.
Looking ahead, Cek Segitiga will continue expanding to more cities across Indonesia as part of Dexa Medica’s commitment to raising public awareness of the importance of early detection of non-communicable diseases and encouraging healthier lifestyles.
