 BIMC Hospital teams up with Courtyard by Marriott to offer the first medical tourism packages in Bali

 

 

BALI, Indonesia (June 20, 2012) --- BIMC Hospital Group has announced a partnership with the Courtyard by Marriott Bali to provide the country's first ever medical tourism packages and services to inbound travelers visiting Asia’s most popular island destination. 

 

Inaugurated on May 5 by Indonesian Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy, Mari Elka Pangestu, along with officials from the Ministry of Health and the Balinese government, the internationally managed BIMC Hospital is well equipped to offer visitors the country’s most advanced dialysis treatments, surgical and non-surgical cosmetic procedures as well as dental care.

 

Located along a palm-lined boulevard neighboring BIMC Hospital in the integrated resort complex of Nusa Dua, the Courtyard by Marriott Bali has added specific aftercare services to its range of hospitality in preparation for the launch of the medical facility. 

 

“Ahead of BIMC Hospital opening, we began planning and training for the best of comfort and care the moment a guest returns to the resort from their medical procedure,” said Courtyard by Marriott General Manager, Jeff Tyler. “We carefully looked at services that aid in recuperation such as special diets and nutrition, unique spa and wellness programs as well as ensuring wheel chair access to all areas of the property.”

 

Along with in-room and resort-wide comfort and facilities, the resort is furthermore the first property in Indonesia to coordinate specialized medical services such as aftercare visits by BIMC Hospital nurses.

 

“We value the partnership with the Courtyard by Marriott resort as care and safety should carry on after our clients complete their medical procedures,” said BIMC Hospital Group founder and CEO, Craig Beveridge. “The Courtyard resort is conveniently located nearby and offers complementing services and standards not to mention an ideal spot for pre –and-post procedure rest and relaxation.”

 

BIMC Hospital Chief Medical Director, Dr. Donna Moniaga, presides over a team of medical professionals from Australia, Indonesia, USA, UK, Germany, Sweden and New Zealand. “The hospital is equipped for complex surgeries with three operating theatres along with our CosMedic™, dialysis and dental facilities all of which could easily rival any hospital anywhere,” said BIMC Chief Marketing Officer, Roland Staehler. “We refer to our elective programs as our three ‘centres of excellence’ and true to the nature of medical tourism, we are further distinguished by offering affordable healthcare.”

 

The 50-bed hospital is set in a lush, one-hectare site planned with a 24-hour medical emergency entrance and hotel-like foyer at the front of the building servicing the hospital’s medical, dialysis and dental centres. The facility is also designed with a private entrance that leads to the CosMedic Centre with its contemporary interior and views onto a serene golf course.

 

“I can’t think of a better place in the sun to visit for medical reasons,” said Tyler. “With the convenience of BIMC’s location and professional services within what is a completely integrated resort experience, medical tourism in Bali will no doubt add to the long list of reasons to visit the island.”
