Participants also flocked to carry out basic examinations for free. Reni Rismawati, one of the participants who took part in the health check, said that the health check was very useful.
“The service is quite good and the facilities are also quite complete because there is also an ultrasound examination of the breast which is important for women. Earlier I checked basic health indicators such as cholesterol, blood sugar, uric acid and blood pressure," Reni commented. (Lp/Rz) (IAAS/SNI)
