The Indonesian Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education is strengthening the role of school health units (UKS) by linking them to free healthcare follow-up services. Deputy Minister Fajar Riza Ul Haq stated that UKS can serve as a crucial bridge connecting students with necessary medical attention beyond initial check-ups. This initiative aims to improve student health and well-being by ensuring continued care for identified issues. The Ministry envisions UKS playing a more proactive role in identifying health problems and facilitating access to treatment. This connection will streamline referrals to clinics and health centers for further evaluation and intervention. Ultimately, the program seeks to address health concerns early on, preventing them from escalating and impacting students’ academic performance and overall development. This integration represents a commitment to holistic education encompassing physical and mental health.
