PT Masmindo Dwi Area (MDA) once again implemented its Free Health Check-Up and Medical Treatment Program in Latimojong District, focusing on early detection of chronic and communicable diseases as a preventive measure for communities living around the company’s operational area.

This free health check-up and treatment program is a sustainable initiative that has been carried out by MDA since 2022. Since 2024, the scope of implementation has been expanded to cover 12 villages in Latimojong District, ranging from Rante Balla Village to Pangi Village, the outermost village in the area. Through this program, MDA delivers healthcare services directly to communities to improve access to medical services in remote areas.

During the latest implementation period, the program was conducted over four days, from January 15 to 18, 2026. A total of 597 residents participated in the health examinations and medical treatment, with elderly participants accounting for approximately 42 percent of the total. Services provided included general health examinations, medical consultations, and the distribution of medicines based on examination results. Through these services, healthcare personnel also carried out initial identification of indications of chronic diseases as well as diseases with potential for transmission within the community.

The Head of Mine Engineering (KTT) of MDA, Mustafa Ibrahim, stated that early detection is one of the key focuses of the health program.

“Through this free health check-up and medical treatment program, MDA aims to encourage the community to be more aware of their health conditions from an early stage. Early detection is crucial so that potential chronic diseases can be addressed more quickly before developing into more serious conditions, especially among the elderly, while also reducing the risk of the spread of communicable diseases,” said Mustafa.

He added that the program is also part of the company’s efforts to expand access to healthcare services in remote areas. Based on the examination results during this period, some of the most commonly identified conditions included myalgia (muscle pain) and hypertension. These findings underscore the need for further preventive measures through health education and regular monitoring.

“By bringing healthcare services directly to villages, we hope the community will no longer delay medical check-ups or treatment due to distance and facility limitations. Going forward, MDA will continue to promote health programs that deliver tangible benefits to the community,” he added.

Through the implementation of this program, MDA reaffirms its role in supporting the sustainable improvement of public health in communities surrounding its operational area, in line with the company’s commitment to building harmonious and long-term relationships with local communities.
