The Mayor of Denpasar, I Gusti Ngurah Jaya Negara, attended a series of ceremonies, which coincide with the holy Kadasa full moon in Bali, at temples located close to the new Bali International Hospital, marking the beginning of a new chapter for Sanur.
The Mayor used the ceremonies as an opportunity to set the intention for the medical facility to become the best in Asia.
The Mayor of Denpasar, I Gusti Ngurah Jaya Negara told reporters following the ceremonies “We hope that the presence of the temple in the hospital area can strengthen the spirit of service based on noble values, making Bali International Hospital the best medical center in Asia and even the world.”
He noted how the presence of the temples and adherence to the timing of cultural ceremonies is just another way that Balinese spirituality and culture will help create an environment of harmony and success around the healthcare facilities.
As a representative of the Bali International Hospital Management Team, Muhamad Sonny Irawan shared that the ceremonies were a symbol of asking for blessings in “sekala and niskala” which are the seen and unseen realms, for the prosperity and success of the hospital, its staff and patients.
He shared “We hope that through this [offering], the devotion space that we have prepared can provide blessings and safety for all parties.”
Bali International Hospital, located in the heart of Sanur, is set to become one of the most prominent medical tourism facilities in Asia. The private hospital will offer treatment to international medical tourists, as well as provide a facility for Indonesian patients who have previously sought treatment abroad.
All tourists traveling to Bali must ensure that they have fully comprehensive travel and health insurance. Generally speaking, travel insurance policies will cover medical emergencies abroad, those traveling to Bali as medical tourists are advised to contact their travel and medical insurance providers directly to understand what coverage their policy offers for elective medical treatments abroad.
The facility will feature highly specialized medical units focused on cardiology, oncology, neurology, gastroenterology, hepatology, and orthopedics. This is all in addition to offering comprehensive medical check-up services and providing comprehensive women’s & children’s health clinics, including maternity care and travel medicine and vaccination services.
The hospital will offer 255 beds, 38 intensive care units, 8 operating rooms, and 4 catheterization labs. Bali International Hospital will also offer a full emergency medical department and will be home to Bali’s first mammogram service
.
The construction of the new Bali International Hospital has been completed and over the last few months, rigorous testing and operational development have been underway to ensure that the facility can run to a world-class standard. With the soft launch of the hospital set for mid-April 2025, the vision is finally coming to life. Patients can already book their health screening packages via the Bali International Hospital website.
It is expected that the medical screening services will be amongst the most highly sought-after services on offer at the hospital. There are two tiers of health screening packages available starting at IDR 3,400,000 and results are delivered within 24 hours.
