Police Provide Over 660,000 Health Services Ahead of 80th Bhayangkara Day
The Indonesian National Police (Polri) has provided 664,975 health services to the public in various regions as part of the Health Service programme for the 80th Bhayangkara Day. The programme, which runs from 1 June to 1 July 2026, is part of efforts to expand access to healthcare while supporting the improvement of public health quality.
National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo stated that Polri is committed to delivering easily accessible health services for the community, as well as maintaining the health of police personnel so they remain in optimal condition to carry out their duties. “We continue to be committed to providing the best service, particularly in the health sector, both for the community and for our members, so that their health is maintained and they are fit to perform their daily duties of serving the public,” Sigit said during the peak event of the Bhayangkara Health Service at the Bhayangkara Level III Hospital at the Police Education and Training Institute in South Jakarta on Tuesday.
According to Sigit, this year’s health service activities involved 5,354 health workers deployed across various regions of Indonesia. The services provided included free health check-ups, general medical treatment, dental examinations, specialist services, cataract surgery, cleft lip surgery, minor surgical procedures, blood donation, laboratory tests, and mass circumcision. Additionally, the police offered stunting examinations, family planning and maternal-child health counselling, distribution of vitamins and immunity packages, provision of free eyeglasses, tuberculosis screening and treatment, and assistive devices for persons with disabilities.
Sigit noted that the peak of the health service activities on Tuesday was attended by approximately 8,000 people. The programme also involved workers as one of the beneficiary groups. As part of the initiative, Polri launched the Bhayangkara Priority Card for Workers, which enables workers to access health check-ups at all Polri hospitals across Indonesia. “This card is a form of commitment and cooperation to help provide health services for our fellow workers throughout Indonesia,” Sigit said.
On the same occasion, Polri also inaugurated the Bhayangkara Hospital in Jombang. Sigit explained that the facility was built to expand healthcare access for the public while also meeting the service needs of police personnel. He added that strengthening health services is one of Polri’s forms of dedication to the community in the momentum of the 80th Bhayangkara Day. Beyond supporting personnel health, the initiative is expected to provide direct benefits to members of the public in need of healthcare services.
