Indonesia to turn Bali into Asia’s next medical tourism hotspot


JAKARTA (Vietnam News/ANN): Indonesia is stepping up efforts to reduce the number of citizens seeking treatment abroad and turn Bali into Asia’s leading medical tourism hotspot.

At the heart of this push is the Sanur Health Special Economic Zone (SEZ), a new development located on Bali’s southeastern coast. The area spans more than 41ha and is designed to become Indonesia’s first integrated health tourism destination.

The centrepiece of the development is the Bali International Hospital, the only hospital within the SEZ.

Covering more than 67,000 sq.m, the hospital provides specialist services in cardiology, oncology, neurology, gastroenterology, hepatology, and orthopaedics through partnerships with partners from Australia, Japan, and Singapore.

There will also be two landmark hotels, namely the historic Bali Beach Hotel, the island’s first five-star property, opened in 1966, and the Meru Sanur Hotel, a five-star resort. - Vietnam News/ANN
