OUR INVESTMENT ABROAD
Our Jakarta hospitals managed to exhibit higher
growth for the year. RS Bumi Serpong Damai for
one, has managed to turnaround giving good vibes on
our investment in Indonesia. We expect that both
hospitals will be able to contribute better towards
the result of KPJ in 2015. One of the key sectoral
drivers was the Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional (JKN)
– a national health insurance scheme under the
Healthcare and Social Security Agency (BPJS
Kesehatan) - which has been implemented since
1 January 2014 under the new government. As this
government support is expected to trigger increments
in patient volumes, demand for hospital-based
services in Indonesia is anticipated to rise, alongside
growth of various healthcare-related sectors
including health tourism and healthcare education.
The healthcare sector in Thailand, however, is
currently facing challenges due to its current political
scenario, which has affected local consumers’
healthcare decisions, and also raised concerns
among international health tourism patients.
Nevertheless, we are optimistic that our investment
in Thailand will continue to generate positive returns
as the hospital remained profitable despite the
sizeable drop in patient volume.
