BANDUNG, itb.ac.id – Kabinet Keluarga Mahasiswa Institut Teknologi Bandung (Kabinet KM ITB), through the Coordinating Ministry for Student Welfare (Kesma), organized Free Medical Check-Up 2.0 at Klinik Utama Bumi Medika Ganesha ITB on March 12-13, 2025.
In this medical check-up, participants underwent blood pressure measurement (tension), blood sugar level test, uric acid level test, and cholesterol level test.
One of the organizers, Robi Salam (Electrical Power Engineering, 2023), stated that this event marked the second year of the Free Medical Check-Up, held in collaboration with the same clinic.
This event aimed to reach 150 participants and was open to ITB students from various campuses, including ITB Ganesha Campus, ITB Jatinangor Campus, and ITB Cirebon Campus.
This initiative was based on an analysis showing that many students realized their health was not in optimal condition. Therefore, Kesma Kabinet KM ITB took the initiative to organize this program, allowing students to access healthcare services more easily without needing to register independently at clinics or hospitals.
This event has had a positive impact. "From several samples we asked, the results showed that after undergoing the medical check-up and receiving their health figures such as uric acid levels, blood sugar, and others, they became aware of the necessary medical actions to improve their condition," said Robi.
With the Free Medical Check-Up 2.0, it is hoped that ITB students will become more aware of their health and have easier access to regular health check-ups.
