"We want to reiterate the importance of health for the Indonesian people. Health is the main foundation of superior HR," said Minister Pratikno on Monday (16/6/2025).
He explained that health is the main foundation in forming productive and competitive HR.
According to him, the government not only encourages the public to routinely carry out health checks, but also educates the importance of a healthy lifestyle as a whole, including maintaining a balance between work and personal life.
"Exercise can be done at any time, don't look for excuses. Once again, being healthy is a choice, not a coincidence," said Pratikno
According to Pratikno, to be healthy requires time. Health is the result of ongoing efforts. The public needs to maintain a diet, get enough sleep, manage stress, and exercise regularly.
"Being healthy is not a coincidence, being healthy is a choice," continued Pratikno.
He quoted the thoughts of classical philosophers such as Arthur Schopenhauer who reminded that health is a very valuable blessing.
"Arthur Schopenhauer said, health is not everything, but everything without health is nothing," noted Pratikno.
