This event took place at the Car Free Day Boulevard Panakkukang Makassar on Sunday, July 7th, 2024.

This activity was initiated out by seeing global challenges in the health sector and intense competition, so this activity was created which aimed to increase collaboration and cooperation between students in the health sector and an activity was created that was beneficial for this community.

This activity provided free health checks of blood pressure, blood sugar, uric acid and cholesterol checks for free and was attended by hundreds of CFD Boulevard visitors at the stand throughout Makassar City.

There was also a lot of positive feedback from the public, they felt that this examination was very useful because they could check blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol and uric acid for free and all examinations could be carried out without having to choose one, said one of the people who took part in the activity.

At this event, we set a target of around 100 participants who would carry out health checks, but it turned out that the enthusiasm from the community was really overwhelming. So when the target is reached, the students still carry out inspections because there are still many people who want to carry out inspections.
