Sanur, Bali — Bali International Hospital has begun operations within the Sanur Health and Wellness Special Economic Zone, bringing a 255-bed, international-standard facility into Bali’s private healthcare and emerging medical-tourism market.

The hospital’s own materials state that it opened in April 2025 in the Sanur Health Special Economic Zone, and that it is designed to meet international healthcare benchmarks while serving both domestic and international patients. A separate press report in April 2025 described BIH as already in an initial operating phase ahead of a grand opening planned for June 2025.

The facility aims to reduce the need for Indonesians to seek advanced treatment abroad and to position Bali as a destination for patients who may combine medical care with tourism and wellness stays. According to the hospital, it offers over 255 private rooms and clinical specialties including cardiology, oncology, neurology, orthopedics, and gastroenterology and hepatology, integrated with on-site hospitality providers for medical and wellness packages.

Initial specialist services highlighted for the hospital include oncology (cancer care), cardiology (heart health), emergency services, integrated clinics, radiology and radiotherapy, and comprehensive medical check-ups, with additional specializations to be introduced gradually. BIH emphasizes advanced diagnostic and treatment technology such as PET-CT, 3.0 Tesla MRI, 256-slice CT scanners, Varian TrueBeam linear accelerators and SagiNova brachytherapy systems for cancer care.

Facilities and international partnerships

Across a land area of about 67,000 square metres in the Sanur Health and Wellness Special Economic Zone, Bali International Hospital provides 255 beds, 38 intensive care units, eight operating rooms, four catheterisation laboratories and five Centers of Excellence. The site is described as near-beachfront, with modern infrastructure and room for expansion.

BIH has announced multiple international partnerships. Hospital publications and partner statements list collaborations with Icon Cancer Centre (part of Icon Group), Innoquest and Pathology Asia Holdings for diagnostics, Sapporo Cardiovascular Clinic from Japan, Hong Kong Asia Medical Group, and Singapore’s SingHealth for clinical services and medical education. These partnerships are intended to support knowledge transfer, clinical skill development and service quality improvements at the Sanur facility.

The hospital is managed by PT Pertamina Bina Medika – Indonesia Healthcare Corporation (IHC) and is positioned in official materials as a future hub for medical tourism referrals across ASEAN.

Key facility figures

  • 255 beds.
  • 38 intensive-care units.
  • Eight operating rooms.
  • Four catheterisation laboratories (cath labs).
  • Site area of about 67,000–67,465 square metres.

Pricing, insurance and access

Publicly available materials reviewed do not provide detailed schedules of consultation fees, treatment prices or medical check-up packages, although the hospital promotes comprehensive medical check-ups and advanced oncology services. One regional business report notes that BIH collaborates with 12 international health insurance providers and maintains referral links with around 30 global hospitals, as part of its medical tourism positioning, but does not list specific insurers.

The hospital gives its address as Jl. Bypass Ngurah Rai, Sanur, Bali, and lists emergency and contact numbers, a website and an email contact for inquiries. Prospective patients are advised by partner and hospital communications to contact the hospital or its specialist centres directly to confirm department availability, appointment times and referral requirements.

Within months of opening, BIH is reported to have treated more than 1,400 patients, with a majority coming from overseas, underlining the Sanur Special Economic Zone’s role in Indonesia’s strategy to retain patients domestically and draw international visitors for healthcare.

Context

Bali International Hospital is located at the heart of the Sanur Health and Wellness Special Economic Zone, a designated area created to attract healthcare investment and support medical tourism. The zone provides a framework for hospitals and medical partners to operate with a focus on international-standard services, and BIH is promoted by its operators as a flagship facility intended to compete with leading hospitals elsewhere in Southeast Asia.
