In groundbreaking cooperation with the US-based Mayo Clinic, Bali International Hospital will open on Sanur Beach at the end of 2023.
Bali International Hospital will become a landmark project within Sanur’s newly established Healthcare Special Economic Zone (SEZ). The government-owned hospital operator PT Pertamina Bina Medika – Indonesia Healthcare Corporation (IHC) hopes construction work will be completed at the end of 2023. The hospital is expected to be fully operational in early 2024.
The Bali International Hospital building will cover 60,000 square meters of covered space spread over four floors; the hospital will play host to 250 beds – including 35 intensive care units, eight operating rooms, and four catheterization laboratories equipped with advanced diagnostic imaging capabilities.

Mayo Clinic will provide administrative and operational management consulting services in the second phase.
First-class foreign medical specialists are being recruited under provisions of special visas allowing the progressive transfer of knowledge and technology.
