Expat Healthcare Advice for Yogyakarta
1. Fly to Singapore (if you can afford it) or Fly to Malaysia if you are not as wealthy.
2. Don't get sick ie make sure that you cut out on things that could become an issue like smoking, lack of exercise, overeating junk foods etc.
If you get sick make sure that you have already built up a network that, through word-of-mouth, has provided you with names of medical specialists that will alleviate some of your conditions without sending you to the morgue...
