Leveraging CKG Data for Strategic Communication and Program Planning
Executive Summary
The project “Health Check, Health Talk: Leveraging CKG Data for Strategic Communication and Program Planning” was designed to elevate Indonesia’s Cek Kesehatan Gratis (CKG) program from a mass screening initiative into a data-driven policy and system reform instrument for non-communicable disease (NCD) control. The objective was to enable the Ministry of Health to use CKG data strategically—to quantify current and projected burdens of hypertension, diabetes, and central obesity; assess service readiness and follow-up performance; and anticipate medium- to long-term implications for JKN financing and facility capacity.
Reconstra led the full analytical cycle, transforming raw CKG datasets (over 6.3 million participants, February–June 2025) into integrated, policy-ready intelligence. Outputs included: (1) a comprehensive epidemiological analysis quantifying prevalence, risk stratification, and projected cardiovascular events under different coverage and control scenarios; (2) individual-level data linkage between ASIK and SIMPUS using NIK-based merging to map diagnosis, treatment initiation, and control status; (3) facility-level projections estimating additional caseload and workload implications for puskesmas and referral hospitals; (4) financial risk modeling to illustrate potential JKN expenditure trajectories under varying follow-up and control rates; and (5) structured care pathway and follow-up flow models aligned with national “triple eighty” targets to minimize loss to follow-up.
In collaboration with BKPK, the RCCE Working Group, and supported by the Gates Foundation (July–October 2025), Reconstra translated technical findings into policy notes, executive briefs, and high-level presentation materials used in strategic meetings, including with the Minister of Health. The outputs directly informed directives on immediate hypertension management during CKG and accelerated integration across ASIK, SIMPUS, and SATU SEHAT. Collectively, Reconstra’s work provided the Ministry with an end-to-end evidence framework—linking screening, service delivery, financing, and system reform—to ensure CKG produces measurable reductions in cardiovascular burden and strengthens long-term health system sustainability.
