Easily accessable and good standard of care. Expensive is relative depending on income and comparison to what you are used to paying.

Just so you know, doctors, specialists, and consultants working in facilities like this often also work at other hospitals. If you are considering the skills and quality of the doctors, it is unlikely there will be significant differences. All you get is that you will be charged more.

It is improbable that you'll find highly trained foreign doctors or Indonesian doctors with education and training from prestigious hospitals or universities worldwide practising there.

Just a reference how the doctors in Indonesia are trained.

Quality of Healthcare and Physicians

Our nephew, a student in Bandung, played a friendly game of basketball and made a wrong move. Torn ligaments of course. To be safe he went to an orthopedist who claimed he needed surgery. And soon. It would cost 100 juta (approx. $6,500, €6.000), payable before the operation. His father...

Corruption, which has also infiltrated university admissions and medical training, is damaging the country.

This isn’t to imply that all of them are bad, but some relatively affluent Indonesians prefer seeking treatment in neighbouring countries like Singapore or Malaysia, often for more affordable options. In Malaysia, treatments can sometimes be less expensive. I have shared a few links in this forum that you can search for if you are interested.

I have attended the SOS clinic in mega kuningan and the one in Cipete and got good care in each - as good as I would expect in my GP practice in my home country. The branch in cipete has an onsite A&E which saved the life of a dear friend of mine a year and a half ago (heart attack - we didn't realize it was so serious but brought him there directly as it was the closest A&E to us and the team basically saved his life in front of our eyes, got him stable and packed us off to a cardiac unit elsewhere once we was able to be moved). They impressed me that night!

I recently had a fantastic experience with RS Royal Mandaya Puri. I went in for the "Basic" medical check-up, thinking it would just be a couple of tests and a visit with a GP. Wow, was I mistaken! When I checked in at 8am, they asked for my breakfast AND lunch orders from their menus. Apparently, this was going to take a bit longer than I had anticipated. They ran a range of blood tests, urine tests, an ECG, a full body fat analysis, eye tests, chest x-ray, etc. The visit included appointments with a GP, an internal medicine specialist, and a cardiologist. The meals could have used some sambal, but were otherwise reasonably tasty. Overall, I felt it was good value for 1,85 jt IDR.

SOS is fine, they do try to sell you additional services that are not really necessary, but probably no worse than at clinics in Western countries. Their comprehensive health check up is quite good.

My/our experience with SOS , both Bali and Jakarta (in my last case with them, they referred me to RS. Pondok Indah for surgery) were good. No issues at all, the follow-up and responded quickly.
However, I'm very pleased with a small clinic in and the regional hospital of Karang asem, in amlapura. Karang asem is the poorest province in Bali, but I will give them two thumb up.
