Will I need to travel to see a specialist?
When we asked members in Indonesia if they typically need to travel to see specialists, they replied...
"One can get the right healthcare needed in any area you are in, but not all have the same superior quality like at BIMC. An efficient ambulance service is available at BIMC. Taxis run 24/7 and they are another option to use when in an emergency. It is so important to have health insurance as costs can be hefty if one is hospitalized for serious issues," wrote a member who made the move to Bali, Indonesia.
