West Sumbawa, 28 May 2025—The shocking news arrived like a bolt from the blue. After undergoing a routine Medical Check-Up (MCU) held by the company, Sofyan, an employee of PT Amman Mineral Nusa Tenggara (AMMAN), received an indication of a blocked blood vessel in his heart. Yet, all this time, he had always felt healthy, no symptoms at all.
The periodic MCU, one of AMMAN's efforts to maintain employee health, unexpectedly became a pivotal moment in Sofyan's life. He was immediately referred for further examination, which led to a doctor's recommendation for stent placement.
Upon hearing this, he chose not to succumb to fear. Instead, the news became a turning point in his awareness of the importance of maintaining health. Fortunately, AMMAN has a SEHATI program designed to assist employees with high health risks.
“I joined the SEHATI program after the last MCU last year,” Sofyan recalled. “After further checks, the doctor advised me to have a stent installed. Since then, I have been determined to change my lifestyle,” he said.
AMMAN's SEHATI Program
AMMAN's SEHATI program is not just an appeal but a comprehensive support system for employees with health risks. “This program has several parameters. Employees with symptoms or risks of heart problems, such as high cholesterol, hypertension, or blood sugar, will have their results monitored,” explained dr. Soebchan, the company doctor stationed at the Batu Hijau site.
The AMMAN SEHATI program allows employees to receive individualized programs, ranging from doctor consultations, dietary adjustments, exercise schedules, routine check-ups, and even psychological counseling. For Sofyan, this program became an oasis amidst his worries. In fact, the AMMAN Health & Fitness team also provided him with intensive attention and guidance.
Rio, a coach in the Health & Fitness Department at AMMAN, also monitored Sofyan's progress. “We received data from the clinic after the physiotherapy assessment, and Mr. Sofyan was declared ready to exercise. He regularly provides information about his daily exercise activities, which are tailored to his medical condition,” Rio said.
The results were truly encouraging. Sofyan's enthusiasm for healthy living bore fruit. “When I first joined the SEHATI program, my weight was around 85 kg; now I’m 75 kg. Hopefully, it can still go down further,” he revealed with a proud smile.
In addition to significant weight loss, he also felt other positive changes. "My body feels lighter, I rest more comfortably, and I have become more productive and enthusiastic about work," he added.
Sofyan's story reminds us that health is a long-term investment. Thanks to early detection and real support from AMMAN, he now lives a healthier, more balanced, and more spirited life.
