SOE Minister Erick Thohir ensured that facilities at Bali International Hospital (BIH) in the Sanur Health Special Economic Zone (SEZ), Denpasar, had been installed and operated to serve patients.

"It's okay at the Sanur SEZ, Bali, which has been in operational trials since April 14, 2025," said Erick Thohir through the @erickthohir Instagram account in Denpasar, Bali, Saturday.

On the sidelines of a working visit to the Island of the Gods, Erick reviewed a number of health facilities at the international hospital, starting from the rehabilitation of the game, treatment rooms, radiotherapy rooms, parks and other facilities which he said had been operating smoothly.

The plan, he continued, was that President Prabowo Subianto would inaugurate BIH in June 2025.

Meanwhile, the President Director of Pertamedika Bali Hospital, Dewi F Fitriana, told the Minister of SOEs that BIH had been operating since April 14, 2025 and had served 19 patients who had access to comprehensive health checks (MCU) and 14 emergency patients.

During the visit to the hospital which was part of the Holding of the BUMN Hospital Pertamina Bina Medika Indonesia Healthcare Corporation (IHC), Erick also had a chance to talk with a number of staff and health workers.

One of them is a diaspora doctor, namely the vascular surgeon Rio Marnoto, who has been in school for 24 years and has a career in Munich, Germany.

BIH international hospitals have an area of 67,465 square meters and are equipped with 255 beds with locations near the Sanur tourist area with attractive Sanur Beach and Segara Ayu Beach.

There are also superior services at the hospital, namely cardiology, cancer, nerves, digestive tract and orthopedic / bone (CONGO).

Based on data from the Indonesian SEZ National Council, the Sanur Health SEZ, which has a total area of 41.26 hectares, is targeted to be able to invite investments of around Rp. 10.2 trillion and is estimated to absorb around 43,647 workers, both direct and indirect.

The Sanur Health SEZ is expected to absorb patients who previously treated abroad to be treated at the facility with a total of 123-240 thousand patients in 2030.

With fewer patients from Indonesia seeking treatment abroad, it is hoped that foreign exchange savings from Indonesian citizens who previously treated abroad will be treated at the SEZ with an estimated total of IDR 86 trillion and the potential for additional foreign exchange of IDR 19.6 trillion is projected until 2045.
