Ministry of Creative Economy Partners with Local IP Company for Free Health Check Service at Chinese New Year Festival
Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Ministry of Creative Economy is partnering with the local intellectual property (IP) company, halomiyu, to promote the Free Health Check service, which will be available at the 2026 National Chinese New Year Festival.
The Free Health Check service at the 2026 National Chinese New Year Festival is part of the government’s commitment to providing accessible and free healthcare services to all segments of society.
“This health check is necessary for everyone, including those who are healthy. Early detection is important, as it allows us to remain more productive and take care of our families who depend on us,” said Deputy Minister of Creative Economy, Irene Umar, in a statement released in Jakarta on Tuesday.
The collaboration between the Ministry of Creative Economy, the organising committee of the 2026 National Chinese New Year Festival, the Ministry of Health, and the local IP company, halomiyu, aims to provide an engaging visual experience of the Free Health Check service, educating visitors at the 2026 National Chinese New Year Festival about health.
During a visit to the Free Health Check service at the 2026 National Chinese New Year Festival in Banteng Field, Jakarta, on Monday (23 February), Deputy Minister Irene stated that partnering with local IPs like halomiyu helps to present health messages in a more friendly and accessible way, making them easier to understand.
Visitors to the National Chinese New Year Festival can undergo comprehensive health checks, including blood pressure, blood sugar, hepatitis, dental, tuberculosis, and breast cancer screenings. This is important to encourage early detection and improve public health awareness.
Deputy Minister Irene said that the government continues to foster collaboration to provide easy access to free health checks for the public, including through national events.
As a result, the number of beneficiaries of this programme can continue to increase. In 2026, the government aims for 136 million people to benefit from this priority programme.
The 2026 National Chinese New Year Festival, held in Banteng Field, Jakarta, from 22 February to 1 March 2026, is designed as a lunar new year festival that celebrates Indonesia’s diversity through art, traditions, and cuisine.
Chinese New Year is presented not only as a celebration for the Chinese community but also as a gathering place for all citizens, fostering harmony and unity.
In addition to the free health checks, visitors can also enjoy various forms of entertainment, including a culinary market festival, arts and crafts, a Chinese New Year parade, and an Open Museum: Chinese Cultural Acculturation.
