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...
"Some of the most popular cities in Indonesia for medical specialists are Jakarta and Surabaya. Both cities feature a wide range of highly-skilled physicians, specialists, and surgeons. Other cities with good selections of medical specialists include Banda Aceh, Medan, Balikpapan, and Yogyakarta. In addition, many tropical islands in Indonesia have some of the best medical specialists, including Bali, Lombok, Sulawesi and Sumatra," explained one expat living in Indonesia.
"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," said another in Bali, Indonesia.
