PT BRI Multifinance Indonesia convened its dealer network partners in Jakarta on Tuesday, September 8, for a targeted health education session prioritizing stroke and Alzheimer’s disease prevention and risk assessment.
Targeting Critical Health Risks
The specialized program took place alongside RS PON Prof. Dr. dr. Mahar Mardjono Jakarta. It gathered owners, directors, and group leaders from partner dealerships to address symptoms, risk factors, and early detection methods for both medical conditions, alongside offering an optional Alzheimer’s risk test for attendees.
Stroke Prevalence and Risk Factors Revealed
Official health figures framed the discussions. Data from the 2023 Indonesian Health Survey (SKI) revealed that the prevalence of stroke diagnosed by a doctor reached 8.3 per 1,000 population aged 15 years and older nationwide.
Globally, the World Health Organization identifies stroke as a primary cause of death and disability. Contributing risk factors span physical inactivity, smoking, hypertension, diabetes, and high cholesterol.
Cognitive Health and Domestic Guidelines
On cognitive health, WHO figures from July 2026 indicate that up to 45% of global dementia risks connect directly to modifiable or preventable factors, with Alzheimer’s disease standing as the most common form of dementia.
Deepening Commercial Relationships
Primartono Ginawan, Business Director at BRI Finance, emphasized that the initiative served to strengthen ties far beyond standard business transactions. “Dealer merupakan bagian penting dari ekosistem bisnis BRI Finance,” Primartono said, noting the firm’s goal to deliver value-added benefits to dealers supporting its commercial journey.
Prioritizing Early Risk Recognition
The seminar represents a core pillar of BRI Finance’s broader strategy to foster sustainable partnerships across its dealership ecosystem by looking past day-to-day commercial operations.
“Through education like this, we hope our partners can obtain accurate information about health and better understand the importance of recognizing risk factors early,” Primartono stated.
