How do I find hospitals or clinics while traveling in Indonesia?

Finding a hospital or clinic while traveling in Indonesia is relatively easy, especially in major cities and tourist destinations.

Many major cities, including Jakarta, Bali, Surabaya, and Yogyakarta, have international clinics and hospitals with English-speaking staff. In particular, many of these facilities provide high-quality medical care and also accept international health insurance. Ask your hotel receptionist for help if you need medical assistance or use Google Maps to find a nearby hospital. Your country's embassy or consulate can also recommend reputable medical facilities.

In small towns and rural areas, medical facilities and English-speaking staff may be limited. It’s important to have travel health insurance that covers emergency evacuation and medical care if you need treatment in a larger city.

In an emergency, call 119 to contact Indonesia's emergency medical services. However, response times may vary. Be aware of any emergency hotlines that may be available when visiting a private hospital.

If you are in a remote location, research the nearest hospital in advance. To ensure a smooth trip, travelers should keep a list of important medical contacts and bring any prescription medications they may need. It is also a good idea to use trusted healthcare apps or websites when you need to find a reputable clinic or hospital.
