Bali International Hospital Aspires to ASEAN Medical Excellence

In recent years, Southeast Asia has become one of the world’s most dynamic hubs for medical tourism. Countries like Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore have gained international recognition for combining clinical quality with hospitality-driven care experiences.

Now, Indonesia is taking a bold step forward with the launch of Bali International Hospital in 2025—designed to compete at the highest regional level. With a strong foundation in medical expertise, international partnerships, and sustainability principles, we are being built to become a leading health destination in ASEAN, offering Indonesian and international patients world-class care closer to home.

A New Standard for Medical Tourism in Indonesia

World-Class Facilities and Clinical Specialization

Located in Sanur’s Health Special Economic Zone, we are designed to meet international healthcare benchmarks. The facility will offer:

• Over 255 private rooms equipped for both inpatient and outpatient care
• Clinical specialties including:
• Cardiology
• Oncology
• Neurology
• Orthopedics
• Integration with on-site premium hospitality providers for full-service medical and wellness packages

The infrastructure and service model reflect global expectations of patient privacy, convenience, and outcome-driven care.

Keeping Indonesian Patients Closer to Home

According to a 2023 statement from Indonesia’s Ministry of Health, a significant number of citizens travel overseas annually for specialized treatment. We were developed to address this outflow, ensuring that more Indonesians have access to comprehensive care without leaving the country.

At the same time, the hospital is positioned to serve the growing number of medical tourists from ASEAN, Australia, and Europe, who are increasingly seeking care in relaxing, recovery-supportive environments like Bali.

Learning from Regional Leaders in Medical Tourism

International Accreditation and Quality Assurance

To earn trust from both local and international patients, we are pursuing international accreditation, based on global health safety and clinical performance standards. This follows the model of regional leaders like Thailand and Malaysia, which have shown that accreditation is essential for attracting medical travelers and for enhancing overall system quality.

Strategic Health Partnerships Across ASEAN

Collaboration is a key element in our vision for delivering trusted, internationally benchmarked care. To build capability and clinical leadership across ASEAN, the hospital is actively engaging with regional and global health networks.

Strategic partnerships include:

• ICON Cancer Centre, a leading provider of cancer care services in the Asia-Pacific, supporting our oncology expertise and treatment infrastructure
• Innoquest Pathology, a trusted diagnostics partner in Southeast Asia, delivering advanced laboratory services that strengthen clinical accuracy and patient outcomes
• Regional collaborations with hospital networks and research institutions for ongoing clinical development and knowledge-sharing
• Participation in ASEAN-led health initiatives such as the Medical Services Network, which promotes harmonized standards and cross-border healthcare cooperation

These partnerships reinforce our role not only as a care provider, but as a driver of healthcare advancement across the region.

Sustainability in Design and Operation

We are also aligned with ASEAN’s Joint Statement on Climate Change and Health (2021), which emphasizes the role of health systems in climate resilience. The hospital incorporates:

• Green architecture and energy-efficient infrastructure
• Systems to reduce waste and emissions
• Patient recovery environments influenced by biophilic design principles

This approach supports long-term environmental goals while attracting sustainability-conscious travelers.

Challenges and Opportunities Ahead

Competing in a Mature Regional Market

Singapore and Thailand have decades of experience in medical tourism and strong reputations for clinical outcomes. We offer a competitive value by focusing on:

• Affordability without compromising quality
• A recovery environment that supports holistic healing
• Seamless service integration for international patients, including medical visa support and multilingual assistance

Ensuring Policy Alignment and Smooth Access

Government support is a key driver of success. Our model benefits from:

• Indonesia’s revised Health Bill, which allows international health professionals to practice in the country
• Ongoing efforts by the Ministry of Health to streamline cross-border patient access through regulatory reform and digital health infrastructure

By aligning with public policy, the hospital can support both national health objectives and regional competitiveness.
