A Decade of Excellence in Healthcare Standards

The achievement marks another milestone for a hospital that has consistently raised the bar in Balinese healthcare. BIMC Siloam Nusa Dua made history in 2012 by becoming Indonesia's first hospital to earn ACHSI accreditation from the Australian Council on Healthcare Standards International—a credential that opened doors to international patients seeking standards comparable to those in Western countries.

Over the past two decades, the facility has treated more than 500,000 local and international patients, cementing trust among both residents and medical tourists who prioritize quality care and international best practices.

Aesthetic Surgery: A Major Growth Driver

Beyond emergency and general medicine, BIMC Siloam Nusa Dua has emerged as a regional hub for cosmetic and reconstructive procedures through its BIMC Cosmedic Centre. Led by surgeon I Made Suka Adyana and a team of certified specialists, the centre performed over 1,000 plastic surgery procedures in 2025 alone—a testament to rising demand for aesthetic treatments in Bali.

The centre offers comprehensive services including facelifts, blepharoplasty, breast augmentation, skin rejuvenation, anti-aging therapies, and advanced body contouring. Notably, the majority of cosmetic patients originate from Australia and New Zealand, reflecting Bali's geographic appeal to Oceania-based medical tourists.

The centre incorporates cutting-edge technologies such as HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound), IPL (Intense Pulsed Light), medical lasers, ultrasonic liposuction, hydrafacial systems, advanced imaging, and 3D modelling—all designed to maximize precision and patient safety.

Comprehensive Healthcare Ecosystem

The hospital's competitive advantage extends beyond cosmetic surgery. BIMC Siloam Nusa Dua operates a 24-hour Emergency & Medical Centre, dedicated Dental Centre, Dialysis Centre, and Pain Management Clinic—offering integrated care that caters to diverse patient needs.

As part of the larger Siloam International Hospitals network and the BIMC Hospitals Bali group, the facility benefits from regional expertise and standardized protocols while maintaining local accessibility.

What This Means for Bali's Medical Tourism Sector

This consecutive award recognition reflects Indonesia's—and Bali specifically—growing prominence in Southeast Asia's medical tourism market. The award validates the government and private sector's investments in healthcare infrastructure, positioning the island as a credible alternative to more expensive destinations like Singapore and Bangkok for certain procedures.

For international patients, the recognition provides assurance that facilities meeting these standards offer comparable outcomes at lower costs, without sacrificing quality or safety protocols.
