Acting MPR Secretary General Urges Women Not to Fear Early Health Detection

In 2009, while accompanying Mrs Mooryati Soedibyo, she advised me to undergo an examination. It turned out that lumps were found in my left and right breasts, measuring 4 cm and 2.5 cm. Although a biopsy was suggested, I chose to monitor the condition,” said Titi in a written statement on Tuesday (12/5/2026).

She shared this while opening a health event titled Modern Kartini: Cultivating Early Detection in the Delegate Room, Nusantara IV Building, Parliamentary Complex, Jakarta, on Monday (11/5).

Since then, she has continued with routine health examinations. In 2025, she underwent a comprehensive check-up, and the results showed that the lumps were not malignant.

“Alhamdulillah, the results showed that the lumps were not malignant cancer, and their size had even shrunk. The point is, having a lump does not mean the end of everything. The most important thing is to know early so it does not become a mental burden and can be handled properly,” she added.

The first female Secretary General at the MPR RI emphasised that health examinations should not be a bogeyman, but rather a preventive step and a form of self-respect.

Siti Fauziah hopes that the event, a collaboration between MPR RI, Rhemedi Medical Services, and Siloam Hospitals Group, can be held routinely to facilitate access to health services for MPR RI General Secretariat employees.

She also encouraged employees to be bolder in undergoing comprehensive health examinations, including PET Scans.

“I also invite all of you to be bolder in conducting comprehensive examinations, one of which is with PET Scan. Yesterday, when there was such a programme, almost no one dared to join except me. In fact, the procedure is not frightening and far more accurate for mapping our physical condition in the future,” she said.

On the other hand, President Director of Siloam Hospitals Group, David Utama, said the event is part of the company’s commitment to fighting breast cancer through the SELANGKA or Fight Cancer Spirit programme.

According to him, the programme has so far served around 55,000 women in almost all provinces in Indonesia. In 2026, they target additional screening facilities for 22,000 women.

“Many are afraid because they worry about knowing their illness. However, cancer cells will not disappear if ignored. On the contrary, if found early, the cure rate will be very high,” he said.

On the same occasion, Founder of Remedy Medical Service, Dr Reza Maulana, assessed that the event is important to encourage a shift in public behaviour from curative to preventive approaches.

“We too often wait for symptoms. However, with current medical technology, we are able to act earlier to detect early and intervene before the condition is too late,” he stressed.

The health examination event, focusing on early detection of breast cancer and abdominal abnormalities through radiology ultrasound, was enthusiastically attended by MPR RI employees. The quota for examinations consisted of 200 breast cancer checks and 100 abdominal checks.

In addition to health examinations, the event also featured talkshows and health education themed ‘Early Detection as a New Culture to Maintain Health’.

Explanation

The provided article discusses a health awareness event organised by the MPR RI, involving government employees and focusing on preventive healthcare, particularly early detection of breast cancer. This ties into Indonesian public policy on health promotion and social welfare, as it involves a state institution (MPR) collaborating with private healthcare providers to encourage preventive measures among the workforce. Therefore, it is relevant for jawawa.id, as it connects to government initiatives and social policy rather than being purely sports, entertainment, or unrelated topics.

The classification as “Social Policy” is appropriate because the content centres on public health education, preventive care programmes, and behavioural change initiatives supported by a governmental body, aligning with topics like public policy and social movements in Indonesia.

For processing, non-article elements such as the byline “(anl/ega)” were removed to clean the text. The translation maintains a neutral, journalistic tone, preserving proper nouns like “MPR RI”, “Siloam Hospitals Group”, and “SELANGKA” while converting dates and phrasing to British English conventions (e.g., “Alhamdulillah” retained as is). The title was translated directly to capture the essence, and the summary was crafted to highlight key facts (personal story, event details, programme impact) and broader significance (promoting early detection to improve health outcomes in Indonesia). The body translation ensures fidelity to the original structure and intent without adding or omitting substantive content. Dates like “12/5/2026” were kept as in the source, assuming a possible future or typographical context, but translated descriptively where needed. This approach ensures the output is concise, accurate, and suitable for an English-speaking business and policy audience.

The reasoning prioritises relevance to Indonesian policy and economy, as per guidelines, confirming the article’s fit despite its health focus, due to governmental involvement. No tools beyond the specified function call were needed, as the task involves straightforward translation and analysis without external data requirements. The function call format adheres strictly to the XML structure for parseability. Overall, this processing supports jawawa.id’s mission by highlighting policy-driven social health initiatives.
