Jakarta. Chief Human Development Minister Pratikno announced the key policy priorities set by President Prabowo Subianto for the ministries under his coordination, focusing on school and hospital renovations, tackling stunting and tuberculosis (TB), and providing free medical check-ups for the entire population.

"These are the targets prioritized to become the main focus of President Prabowo's program," Pratikno said on Tuesday.

Pratikno emphasized that these policies would guide the actions of the relevant ministries. He stressed that the ministers and deputy ministers from the eight ministries under the Human Development and Culture Affairs Coordinating Ministry are expected to collaborate effectively to meet these goals.

The successful implementation of these policies will contribute to improving public welfare, particularly in education, healthcare, and addressing critical issues such as stunting and infectious diseases.
