Bali International Hospital Officially Opens, Ushering in a New Era of World-Class Healthcare on the Island

Bali, Indonesia – A milestone moment in Bali’s development has arrived with the official launch of the Bali International Hospital (BIH). Located in the vibrant Sanur area, this state-of-the-art facility is the first of its kind on the island. Additionally, offering international-standard healthcare services that meet the needs of both local residents and international visitors.

With the opening of this flagship hospital, Bali strengthens its reputation not only as a top global tourism destination. But also as a rising hub for world-class medical services and wellness tourism.

World-Class Healthcare, Right in Sanur

Strategically situated in Sanur’s Health and Wellness Special Economic Zone (SEZ). Bali International Hospital is a key part of the Indonesian government’s vision to transform Bali into a leading destination for medical tourism. This aligns with broader efforts to diversify the island’s economy beyond leisure tourism.

BIH is developed by the Indonesia Healthcare Corporation (IHC), the holding company of all state-owned hospitals under the Ministry of State-Owned Enterprises. The hospital is operated in collaboration with Mayo Clinic, a globally renowned U.S.-based medical institution. This partnership ensures that BIH adopts international best practices in healthcare management, medical treatment protocols, and patient care standards.

What the Hospital Offers

Bali International Hospital offers a comprehensive range of high-quality medical services across multiple specialties, including:

• Cardiology
  
• Neurology
  
• Orthopedics
  
• Oncology
  
• Internal Medicine
  
• Emergency Care
  
• Diagnostic Imaging and Laboratory Services 

The facility is also equipped with cutting-edge technology and modern infrastructure. Designed to provide a comfortable, efficient, and safe environment for patients and families.

Special attention has been given to international patients, with services tailored to meet the expectations of medical travelers. These include multilingual staff, personalized concierge services, and seamless medical coordination for foreign nationals seeking treatment in Bali.

A Boost for Bali’s Medical Tourism

The launch of BIH marks a significant shift for Bali, which has long attracted visitors for its healing retreats, wellness centers, and alternative therapies—but had limited access to advanced medical services. Now, patients who previously had to travel to Jakarta or abroad for certain treatments will have access to high-quality care closer to home.

The hospital is expected to draw not only local patients but also international medical tourists from Australia, Southeast Asia, and beyond. With competitive pricing and international-level services, Bali is now positioned to become a serious player in the growing global health tourism sector.

The government has also announced that additional facilities and supporting services will be developed around the hospital to create a comprehensive Health and Wellness Ecosystem. This will include rehabilitation centers, medical spas, wellness resorts, and training institutions.

An Economic and Social Milestone

Beyond its healthcare benefits, the opening of Bali International Hospital has a positive ripple effect on the local economy. The facility has created numerous jobs for healthcare professionals and support staff, with ongoing plans to train and upskill local talent to international standards.

Additionally, the development of the Sanur SEZ is expected to increase investor confidence, boost infrastructure development, and provide new business opportunities across the health, hospitality, and tourism sectors.

Looking Ahead

The opening of Bali International Hospital is just the beginning. In the coming years, it aims to expand its services, specialties, and reach. Ultimately contributing to Indonesia’s goal of reducing outbound medical tourism and enhancing domestic healthcare capabilities.

For locals, expats, and visitors alike, BIH offers peace of mind: knowing that world-class medical care is now readily accessible on the Island of the Gods.
