"We always coordinate with all health centers. Coordination is carried out via zoom, both in terms of HR readiness, infrastructure, medical devices and reagents, also disposable medical materials needed for this Free Health Check," said the Director General of Pharmacy and Medical Devices of the Ministry of Health, Rizka Andalusia, on Monday (2/10/2025).
