UNDIP, Semarang (23/1) – The Technical Service Unit for Occupational Safety, Health, and Environment (UPT K3L) of Universitas Diponegoro (UNDIP) conducted a routine health check-up today for lecturers and educational staff across the campus. The activity, centered at the DipoHub Canteen Building, began promptly at 07:30 a.m., starting with a group morning exercise session to energize participants before undergoing medical examinations. Despite the rain pouring at the venue, participants remained enthusiastic and attended the event in large numbers.
The examination process began with registration, followed by height and weight measurements, waist circumference measurement, blood pressure checks, and metabolic screenings, including blood glucose, cholesterol, and uric acid levels. The Head of UPT K3L UNDIP, Dr. Bina Kurniawan, S.K.M., M.Kes., explained that this round of examinations focused on additional areas aligned with specific health themes. “Essentially, the examinations are the same: height, weight, waist circumference, blood glucose, cholesterol, and uric acid. However, since there are themed health days, mental health screenings are also included,” said Dr. Bina.
Dr. Bina also emphasized the importance of inter-unit collaboration within the university to support comprehensive healthcare services for the academic community.
“In implementing this program, we collaborate with the Bulusan Community Health Center, the UP3 of the Faculty of Medicine, and the Faculty of Psychology for early mental health detection. Doctors are available for consultation, so after the examinations and once the results are obtained, participants can consult directly with doctors from the UP3 Faculty of Medicine on-site,” he added.
Dr. Bina aims to conduct this program monthly on a sustainable basis through a combination of the government’s Free Health Check Program (CKG) and UNDIP’s internal Posbindu program. “Our hope is for this to continue sustainably. We plan to have a CKG every month. Since the government’s CKG is only available once per person per year, we will continue with Posbindu. So the programs will alternate between CKG and Posbindu,” he explained.
Through this consistent implementation, it is expected that the health conditions of all UNDIP campus members can be detected early, allowing those who require further attention to be promptly referred to community health centers or hospitals. Dr. Bina hopes that with these facilities, UNDIP’s academic community will remain healthy, enabling them to work and study more productively.
This spirit is part of UNDIP’s full support for the Healthy Living Community Movement (Gerakan Masyarakat Hidup Sehat / Germas) to promote a high-quality lifestyle, in line with UNDIP’s commitment to being ‘Noble and Valuable’. (Public Communication/UNDIP/Riri)
