5,000 Residents Receive Free Health Services at Cibinong Prison

The Ministry of Immigration and Correctional Services (Kemenimipas) held free health examination services for 5,000 residents at the Class IIA Cibinong Prison in West Java. This programme is part of the 62nd Correctional Service Day activities targeting the community around the prison. Minister of Immigration and Correctional Services Agus Andrianto directly inspected the event and emphasised the broader role of correctional services. “We want to ensure that the presence of Correctional Services does not only focus on the development of inmates, but also provides real contributions to the wider community,” said Agus on Wednesday (8/4/2026). He explained that the service is expected to improve community health quality while strengthening relations between the correctional institution and its surroundings. “We hope to help improve the health and welfare quality of the community as well as strengthen the relationship between the correctional institution and the surrounding environment,” said Agus. The Head of Cibinong Prison, Wisnu Hani Putranto, stated that his side is ready to support the implementation of such a large-scale event. Wisnu said, “We feel honoured to be trusted as the host for the 62nd Correctional Service Day event.” Wisnu added that the activity is a form of government concern for community access to health services. “May this activity provide broad benefits to the community and strengthen the role of the prison as part of a correctional system that is caring and responsive to social needs,” said Wisnu. The event was also attended by the Regent of Bogor, Rudy Susmanto, as well as Forkopimda officials and Kemenimipas leaders. In addition to health examinations, the activities included the distribution of social assistance and other public services. Residents showed high enthusiasm, with thousands utilising the available services. One resident, Siti Rahmawati, said she was greatly helped by the free health check-ups and assistance. “I hope events like this can continue to be held because they are very beneficial for small communities like us.”
