APL has just launched “Berani Bicara Berat,” a health education campaign aimed at advancing public understanding of obesity as a complex chronic disease and encouraging individuals to seek appropriate medical care. This is also marked by the introduction of https://www.obesityisadisease-id.com/ as a comprehensive source of education on obesity.

This effort is particularly urgent as obesity now affects nearly 1 in 4 adults in Indonesia (based on Survey Kesehatan Indonesia 2023). Despite being a complex disease influenced by biological, genetic, health behaviors, and environmental factors, it is still widely misperceived as a mere poor lifestyle choice. This misconception reinforces social stigma and deters individuals from seeking the clinical support they need.

To challenge these misperceptions, the campaign launch featured an insightful panel discussion themed “Berani Bicara Berat, Awali dengan Langkah yang Tepat,” bringing together key experts in sustainable weight management. During the discussion, Prof. Dr. Dante Saksono Harbuwono, Sp.PD-KEMD, Ph.D., Chairman of Himpunan Studi Obesitas Indonesia (HISOBI), highlighted that behavior transformation and comprehensive education are key to ensuring individuals receive proper clinical care.

This was supported by Prof. Dr. dr. Em Yunir, Sp.PD-KEMD, President of Perkumpulan Endokrinologi Indonesia (PERKENI) and dr. Erwin Christianto, M.Gizi, Sp.Gk, Chairman of Perhimpunan Dokter Spesialis Gizi Klinik Indonesia (PDGKI), who explained that natural biological mechanisms make sustained weight loss challenging through lifestyle changes alone, underscoring the crucial need for personalized clinical nutrition assessments and medical therapies.

Ay Lie Widjaja, Chief Operating Officer of APL, reaffirmed our mission to make healthcare more accessible. By reshaping conversations surrounding weight, APL aims to break the stigma, empower individuals with science-based education, and encourage them to take the next step toward proper support by consulting with healthcare professionals.

As part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) commitment, SGS in Indonesia secured funding from SGS Global Training to deliver skills development programs for local communities in East Java.

In collaboration with BLK Kota Probolinggo and BLK Kabupaten Lamongan, the program provided local job seekers with accessible training in Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) practices and basic industrial skills.

Delivered through three training batches across Probolinggo and Lamongan, participants gained practical knowledge in Environmental Management Systems (ISO 14001), Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems (ISO 45001), 5S workplace organization principles, and basic soft skills to support employability and workforce readiness.

The successful completion of the program reflects SGS in Indonesia’s ongoing commitment to supporting local communities through education, skills development, and collaboration with vocational training institutions to help build a safer, more skilled, and more employable workforce.

Through initiatives such as this, SGS in Indonesia continues to create positive social impact by supporting talent development and helping strengthen the long-term sustainability of local communities.

Under the strategic theme “Expanding Reach, Elevating Opportunity,” Anugerah Pharmindo Lestari (APL) hosted its annual APL Partners Day. The event brough together clients and distribution partners from across Indonesia to celebrate the critical role of local distribution partners in making healthcare more accessible across Indonesia.

Since launching in 2021, this strategic initiative has united APL with 14 local Pharmaceutical Wholesalers (PBFs), successfully expanding the network to over 3,000 outlets in 80 cities nationwide. By strengthening these regional ties, APL ensures that life-saving medical products reach previously underserved communities with greater speed and reliability.

Beyond celebrating these collaborations with the APL Partner Awards 2026, the event showcased how digital transformation drives supply chain efficiency. Integrating APL Partner application with eZDealer allows regional partners to manage inventory and sales in real time, drastically reducing hurdles.

Through these strong partnerships and digital innovations, APL continues to bridge geographical gaps, ensuring that patients nationwide receive the right healthcare products at the right time.

As part of its active support for the national vision of Indonesia Emas 2045, Anugerah Pharmindo Lestari (APL) continued its 2026 APL Peduli journey at SD Negeri Samban 02, Semarang, Central Java. This initiative brings APL’s core sustainability pillars of Nurturing Talent and Improving Health Outcomes to life by addressing critical challenges in children’s health and education.

Driven by the dedication of 19 APL employee volunteers, APL conducted interactive nutrition education sessions through APL Mengajar, engaging 177 students in learning about balanced diets and healthy habits through educational games. The session was made even more vibrant by a special drum band performance of “Suwe Ora Jamu” by the students.

In parallel, APL provided comprehensive health screenings for approximately 50 teachers, parents, and local community members by hosting a Free Medical Check-Up station. The health screenings included blood pressure checks, blood sugar tests, and uric acid screenings.

The initiative was met with warm enthusiasm from the school and local community. By fostering early nutrition habits and preventive health awareness, APL Peduli continues to support community well-being and contribute to a healthier future generation.

Roche Indonesia recently concluded its flagship global initiative, the Roche Children’s Walk 2026, bringing together colleagues across the Pharmaceuticals and Diagnostics divisions to support children in need.

Roche employees across Indonesia participated in a three-month fundraising initiatives series like bazaars, preloved auction, a blood donation drive with Dharmais Cancer Hospital, and charity sports events—including a Hyrox class, a Padel tournament, and a step challenge.

Through individual employee donations matched Rupiah-for-Rupiah by Roche, the campaign generated IDR 920,000,000. The funds will directly support housing, medical care, and education for pediatric cancer patients via Yayasan Kasih Anak Kanker Indonesia (YKAKI), as well as global pediatric community initiatives through the Roche Employee Action and Charity Trust (Re&Act).
