Bali International Hospital Sanur is the flagship tertiary-care hospital inside the Sanur Health Special Economic Zone (KEK Sanur) in South Denpasar. It is a new, 250+ bed “rumah sakit internasional Bali” focused on complex care, medical check-ups and international-standard patient services.
This page explains what Bali International Hospital (BIH Sanur) is, who runs it, what is already operating, and what is still announced-only. It is based on Indonesia’s KEK regulations, official operator disclosures and on-site verification by KEK Sanur Intelligence as of June 2026.
1. What Bali International Hospital Sanur Actually Is
1.1 Definition and role inside KEK Sanur
Bali International Hospital (BIH Sanur) is the main hospital inside the Kawasan Ekonomi Khusus Kesehatan Sanur (Sanur Health Special Economic Zone) in Denpasar Selatan, Bali. In policy documents, it is referred to as the anchor tertiary hospital of the zone, focused on referral-level services and international patients.
BIH Sanur is distinct from:
- Legacy coastal hotels in Sanur that are being converted into health and wellness facilities, and
- Non-SEZ hospitals in Denpasar and Badung that serve general Balinese populations outside the KEK incentive framework.
Regulatory filings and official statements describe BIH as a “Rumah Sakit Kelas A”-targeted tertiary hospital, designed to provide advanced services in cardiology, oncology, neurology, and orthopedics, alongside comprehensive “medical check-up” offerings.
1.2 Operator and ownership: who actually runs BIH?
The operator of Bali International Hospital is Indonesia Healthcare Corporation (IHC), the state-owned hospital holding company that consolidates facilities previously branded under PT Pertamina Bina Medika and related SOEs. In KEK Sanur regulations and government presentations, the hospital is explicitly positioned as the “IHC hospital” within the zone.
Key points on governance and control (as of June 2026):
- Ownership: BIH is part of the IHC network. There is no public evidence that any foreign health system or private overseas operator holds equity in the hospital building or license.
- Management: Day-to-day clinical and administrative operations are managed by IHC and its appointed leadership team. HR recruitment for doctors and nurses is run through IHC channels.
- Branding: The English-language brand “Bali International Hospital” and Indonesian “Rumah Sakit Internasional Bali” appear in government, IHC and KEK Sanur materials as referring to the same physical hospital complex.
Any future change in ownership structure would need to be reported through the Ministry of State-Owned Enterprises and/or BKPM (now Kementerian Investasi). As of the latest filings we have reviewed, no such change has been formalised.
1.3 Opening timeline: from construction to inauguration
Development of BIH Sanur is tightly tied to the KEK designation milestones:
- KEK Sanur approval: The Sanur Health SEZ was formalised through central-government regulation, mandating a flagship hospital as one of its “pilar kesehatan.”
- Construction phase: The former Inna Grand Bali Beach area—long underutilised—was cleared and rebuilt as a hospital cluster, senior-living and wellness precinct. Heavy construction on the BIH building advanced through 2023–2024.
- Soft opening / operational start: BIH has been operating since April 2025, in a phased manner. This means selected services and beds were accepting patients before the ceremonial opening.
- Official inauguration: The hospital was inaugurated on 25 June 2025, aligning with KEK Sanur’s broader “operational launch” messaging.
From an investor and patient perspective, the significant date is April 2025—when core clinical services started operating. The June 2025 inauguration is a political and branding milestone, not the first patient treated.
2. Capacity, Facilities and Specialties
2.1 Bed numbers and scale
Official planning and KEK documentation consistently state that Bali International Hospital is designed as a 250+ bed hospital. As of the latest regulatory and investor presentations:
- Planned installed capacity: More than 250 beds.
- Bed mix: A combination of intensive care, high-dependency, general wards and private rooms, with a proportion earmarked for international or premium patients.
- Commissioning reality: Hospitals rarely activate every planned bed on day one. While the physical capacity exceeds 250 beds, the operational bed count in 2025–2026 may be lower and phased alongside staffing and demand.
Any fixed “exact” current bed count per ward would be speculative without internal documents; we therefore refer to the published 250+ figure as a design capacity, not a verified live census.
2.2 Stated clinical focus areas
Across multiple government and IHC communications, BIH Sanur is consistently described as having the following core specialties:
- Cardiology – heart and vascular disease, including diagnostic imaging and interventional capabilities.
- Oncology – cancer diagnosis and treatment, with plans for radiotherapy and nuclear medicine in collaboration with Icon Group (see caveat below).
- Neurology – brain and nervous system disorders, including stroke services.
- Orthopedics – musculoskeletal surgery, joint replacements, trauma orthopedics.
- Medical check-up / health screening – comprehensive check-up programs aimed at domestic and international patients.
These specialties align with the KEK Sanur ambition to capture both medical tourism (complex procedures currently sent to Singapore, Malaysia or Thailand) and preventive health tourism (check-ups, wellness, early detection).
2.3 What is operating vs still in the “announced” column
Because BIH opened in phases, it is important to separate services that are already receiving patients from those officially described but not yet confirmed live.
As of our latest verification (on-site and document-based, June 2026):
- Operating, confirmed (patients treated or explicitly reported as active):
- Emergency department (IGD) – essential for a functional tertiary hospital; confirmed operational.
- Inpatient wards – general medical and surgical beds in use.
- Operating theatres – active for elective and non-elective surgery.
- Basic and advanced imaging – at least X-ray, CT and MRI in clinical use.
- Medical check-up services – marketed as part of KEK Sanur’s health-tourism offer.
- Cardiology services – non-invasive and invasive cardiology pathways are part of the promoted capability set and are required to support emergency and elective cases.
- Neurology and stroke care – positioned as a core pillar; operational for acute and follow-up care.
- Orthopedic surgery – elective and trauma orthopedics are running, tied to domestic and regional referral patterns.
- Announced / planned, with caveats:
- Full oncology centre with radiotherapy – publicly tied to an agreement with Icon Group for oncology and nuclear medicine. We classify radiotherapy and some nuclear-medicine modalities as announced until we see consistent, verifiable case activity.
- Comprehensive international patient centre – while international patients are accepted, some concierge and “one-stop” services remain in build-out and process refinement.
For oncology in particular, patients considering radiotherapy or complex nuclear medicine should request written confirmation of service availability and waiting times before planning travel.
3. Global Collaborations: Mayo Clinic and Icon Group
3.1 Bali International Hospital – Mayo Clinic collaboration
Public communications by the Indonesian government and IHC highlight a collaboration between Bali International Hospital and Mayo Clinicnot support that assumption.
Based on official statements reviewed by KEK Sanur Intelligence, the relationship is better described as a clinical collaboration and knowledge partnership, not ownership or full management. Elements generally highlighted include:
- Knowledge transfer: Sharing of clinical protocols and quality-improvement approaches.
- Training and advisory support: Support in physician education, care pathways, and potentially programme design (e.g. cardiology, oncology).
- Brand association: Co-branding in some materials as “Bali International Hospital – Mayo Clinic collaboration,” which signals a partnership but not joint ownership.
There is no public legal document indicating that Mayo Clinic holds a stake in the BIH operating company, nor that BIH patients are automatically “Mayo Clinic patients.” Any referral to Mayo facilities abroad remains subject to separate arrangements.
Patients choosing BIH on the basis of the bali international hospital mayo clinic link should understand it as a collaboration for standards and knowledge, not a guarantee that they will be treated by Mayo-employed staff or under Mayo insurance contracts.
3.2 Oncology and nuclear medicine: Icon Group partnership [single-source]
Indonesian media reports and government presentations describe a collaboration between BIH and Icon Group—an Australia-based oncology provider—for oncology and nuclear medicine services. This is intended to provide Bali with on-island access to:
- External-beam radiotherapy,
- Chemotherapy day-care centres, and
- Nuclear imaging (such as PET-CT) to support cancer staging and follow-up.
Important caveat: As of June 2026, much of the specific detail about Icon’s role at BIH comes from single-source statements rather than a broad set of independent confirmations. We therefore treat the depth of the partnership as reported but not fully verified. Patients needing radiotherapy or specialised nuclear medicine should:
- Contact BIH directly to confirm whether the relevant modality is live on-site, outsourced within Bali, or still under construction.
- Ask specifically about equipment commissioning dates and expected treatment start dates.
4. BIH Inside “The Sanur”: How the Hospital Fits the Precinct
4.1 The Sanur Health SEZ structure
KEK Sanur is often marketed simply as a “medical city” or “health hub.” Legally and operationally, it is a structured Special Economic Zone with multiple components:
- Bali International Hospital – the core tertiary-care hospital (this page).
- Senior living and retirement facilities – targeted at both Indonesian and foreign retirees seeking long-stay arrangements.
- Wellness and rehabilitation centres – mixing spa, wellness, and recovery services.
- Supporting infrastructure – hotels, commercial spaces, convention facilities and green areas on the former Sanur resort land.
BIH is therefore part of a larger health-tourism ecosystem that aims to make Sanur an integrated precinct for treatment, recovery, wellness and retirement. Unlike standalone hospitals elsewhere in Bali, BIH gains access to KEK incentives including:
- Tax and customs facilitation for imported medical equipment.
- Immigration support for foreign experts and potentially foreign patients using special visa frameworks.
- Land-use and planning certainty within a nationally designated project.
4.2 Relationship with surrounding clinics and hotels
As of 2026, several surrounding facilities in the Sanur area are undergoing repositioning—from pure leisure hotels to wellness- and recovery-friendly properties. These are not all part of BIH, nor all inside the SEZ perimeter.
Practically, this means:
- Patients can combine treatment at BIH with stays in nearby accommodation, including some properties integrated into KEK Sanur’s health-tourism offering.
- Outpatient check-up visitors may choose to stay outside the SEZ entirely and commute to BIH daily.
- Long-stay retirement residents in KEK-linked complexes may use BIH as their primary referral hospital while living semi-independently.
To design an end-to-end care and stay plan, including lodging and post-discharge arrangements, you can plan your trip with our team; we typically coordinate via email and WhatsApp for practical planning.
5. Patient Pathways at Bali International Hospital
5.1 Domestic vs international patient flows
BIH is designed to serve both Indonesian patients and international health tourists. The pathways differ:
- Domestic patients:
- May arrive as referrals from other hospitals—including IHC hospitals across Indonesia—for complex surgery, oncology, or neurology.
- Can self-present at the emergency department or outpatient clinics.
- May use private insurance; BPJS coverage details depend on ongoing contracting and class-of-care policies, which can evolve.
- International patients:
- Often pre-book for medical check-ups, elective surgeries or second opinions.
- Use international insurance, self-pay, or employer-funded schemes.
- May require visas suitable for medical treatment; KEK Sanur and national agencies have discussed health-visas and facilitation, though these are still evolving in regulation and implementation.
5.2 Example pathway: medical check-up visitor
For a typical health tourist coming for a medical check-up at BIH Sanur:
- Enquiry and booking: The patient contacts BIH (or a facilitator) with age, gender, and health concerns. A check-up package is suggested, sometimes with optional add-ons (e.g., cardiac imaging).
- Pre-arrival information: BIH or the facilitator confirms which blood tests require fasting, what medications to pause, and any necessary pre-visit documentation.
- Arrival in Bali: The patient checks into a hotel or serviced apartment, often in Sanur for easy access.
- Hospital day(s): Over one or two days, the patient completes labs, imaging, consultations and possibly functional tests (treadmill, echocardiography).
- Results consultation: Within 24–72 hours, a doctor (often an internist or family physician) explains results, recommends follow-up tests, and suggests treatment or lifestyle adjustments.
- Ongoing care: For serious findings (e.g., cardiac blockages or cancer suspicions), the patient either:
- Continues care at BIH (e.g., angioplasty, surgery, biopsy), or
- Returns home with a detailed medical report, imaging files and referral letters.
Check-ups are the most straightforward entry point into KEK Sanur’s ecosystem and often bundled into “health and leisure” itineraries.
5.3 Example pathway: complex surgery or oncology
For higher-acuity cases, the pathway becomes more involved:
- Remote case review: BIH requests scans, lab results and previous medical records to assess suitability for surgery or oncology treatment on-site.
- Multidisciplinary review: A team (surgeon, anesthetist, internist, oncologist) evaluates risk and discusses plan options with the patient, sometimes via teleconsultation.
- Financial and logistical planning: The hospital or facilitator provides:
- Estimated cost ranges (not fixed quotes),
- Expected length of stay in BIH and in Bali post-discharge,
- Guidance on visas and caregiver accommodation.
- On-site treatment: The patient undergoes surgery or starts oncology protocols. Intensive-care and step-down pathways are used for high-risk cases.
- Post-acute phase: Patients transition to:
- BIH outpatient follow-up,
- Nearby rehabilitation or wellness facilities, or
- Return flight with medical clearance letters and records.
Because these pathways involve clinical risk and cross-border logistics, we recommend direct consultation and a clear written plan. KEK Sanur Intelligence can help you plan your trip and coordinate initial questions via WhatsApp with vetted partners; no one can pay to change what we publish, and if you proceed with our partner they may pay us a referral fee at no extra cost to you.
6. Costs, Insurance and Medical Tourism Economics
6.1 Cost positioning vs regional competitors
BIH operates in a competitive regional landscape alongside hospitals in Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. Economic and policy documents frame the KEK Sanur initiative as an attempt to:
- Reduce Indonesians’ outbound health spending (long dominated by travel to Singapore and Malaysia).
- Attract regional and global medical tourists seeking a blend of quality care and resort-style recovery.
From available benchmarks and early patient reports (through June 2026), the cost positioning of BIH appears to be:
- Generally higher than mainstream private hospitals in other parts of Indonesia, reflecting infrastructure, staffing, and international service standards.
- Generally lower than top-tier private hospitals in Singapore for comparable procedures.
- Comparable to or slightly higher than leading private facilities in Kuala Lumpur, Penang or Bangkok, depending on the specialty and package design.
6.2 Price ranges (non-binding, last verified June 2026)
Hospitals do not publish fixed price lists for all procedures, and final bills depend on complexity, implants, ICU days and unforeseen complications. However, based on early indicative figures and regional benchmarks, and clearly marked as price ranges, not quotes, you might expect:
- Comprehensive medical check-up packages (adult, with labs + imaging):
- Approx. IDR 8–20 million per person
- Ranges reflect depth of imaging (e.g., inclusion of CT/MRI) and specialist consultations.
- Elective orthopedic surgery (e.g., total knee or hip replacement, uncomplicated):
- Approx. IDR 150–350 million including implants and standard inpatient stay.
- Cardiac interventions (e.g., coronary angioplasty with stent, uncomplicated):
- Approx. IDR 180–400 million including cath-lab use and short ICU/ward stay.
- Cancer care:
- Diagnostic workup (imaging, biopsy, pathology): IDR 15–50 million.
- Chemotherapy cycles: highly variable depending on drugs; per-cycle hospital cost can range from IDR 8–70 million or more.
- Radiotherapy course: if provided on-site, regional benchmarks suggest IDR 40–150 million per full course, excluding concomitant drug costs.
All figures above are non-binding estimates, last verified June 2026, aggregated from public data and regional comparators. BIH may charge outside these ranges; only a written estimate from the hospital can anchor your financial planning.
6.3 Insurance and payment
Payment options at BIH will continue to evolve. As of 2026:
- Self-pay is accepted and common for international patients and Indonesians not using BPJS for this level of care.
- Private insurance: BIH is working to be recognised by a growing panel of domestic and international insurers. Patients should confirm:
- Whether BIH is in-network or out-of-network.
- Whether direct billing is available or reimbursement-only.
- BPJS Kesehatan: Policy for SEZ hospitals is evolving. Some services, particularly higher-end or international-class rooms, may not be fully covered.

7. What BIH Sanur Is Not
7.1 Not a general district hospital for all of Bali
Bali International Hospital is not the primary hospital for all routine emergencies or low-complexity conditions for the general Balinese population. Many residents will continue to use:
- Public hospitals such as RSUP Prof. Ngoerah and RSUD Wangaya.
- Private non-SEZ hospitals in Denpasar, Badung, and elsewhere on the island.
BIH is “anchor” by design: tertiary care, international patients, and referral-level services within the KEK framework.
7.2 Not a Mayo-owned or Icon-owned facility
Despite heavy emphasis on the bali international hospital mayo clinic and Icon collaborations, there is no public evidence that:
- Mayo Clinic owns equity or holds the operating license of BIH, or
- Icon Group owns the BIH oncology department outright.
These are partnerships and collaborations. IHC remains the operator; ultimate accountability to Indonesian regulators rests with it.
7.3 Not fully “complete” yet
Even after inauguration, hospitals continue to commission new services, equipment and wards. In BIH’s case, oncology, nuclear medicine and some advanced sub-specialty and research functions are still in rollout or early-stage operation.
Patients should treat any statement that BIH is “fully complete” or “100% open” as marketing shorthand. For specific treatments, always confirm live availability and waiting times.

10. FAQs on Bali International Hospital Sanur
Is Bali International Hospital already open and treating patients?
Yes. Bali International Hospital has been operating since April 2025 and was formally inaugurated on 25 June 2025. Core services—emergency care, inpatient wards, surgeries, imaging, and medical check-ups—are active, although some advanced oncology and nuclear-medicine capabilities are still in phased rollout.
Is Bali International Hospital owned by Mayo Clinic?
No. Available evidence shows that BIH is operated by Indonesia Healthcare Corporation (IHC). Mayo Clinic is described as a clinical collaboration and knowledge partner, not an owner or full operator. The “bali international hospital mayo clinic” link refers to this partnership, not to equity ownership.
Can foreign patients use Bali International Hospital for complex surgery or cancer treatment?
Yes, foreign patients can and do seek complex care at BIH, including cardiology, orthopedic surgery and oncology. However, not all announced services (especially certain radiotherapy and nuclear-medicine modalities) are guaranteed to be live at any given moment. Always request up-to-date confirmation and a written treatment and cost plan before travelling.
How much does treatment at BIH Sanur cost compared with Singapore or Malaysia?
Indicative ranges (last verified June 2026) suggest BIH is generally more expensive than mainstream Indonesian private hospitals but cheaper than top-tier Singapore hospitals for many procedures. For example, a comprehensive check-up can range around IDR 8–20 million, while orthopedic or cardiac interventions typically fall in the low-to-mid hundreds of millions of rupiah. These are broad ranges; only BIH can provide a specific estimate for your case.
Does Bali International Hospital accept BPJS and international insurance?
BIH accepts self-pay and is working with panels of domestic and international insurers; coverage terms vary by insurer and product. BPJS Kesehatan coverage in a Special Economic Zone tertiary hospital is evolving and may not fully cover higher-end services or room classes. Patients should confirm their benefits with both BIH and their insurer before admission.
