Not wanting to depend on imports continuously, Authorities since 2020 has committed to making improvements in the governance of state-owned and private companies, especially in the pharmaceutical, medical devices, and health facilities. The construction of an International Hospital (RSI) in Sanur, Bali, in collaboration with the Mayo Clinic Cancer Hospital in the United States, has been seriously monitored to create leading health service standards in Indonesia. Later, the community can use Bali RSI to carry out various medical treatments. Therefore, in the future, health tourism can be properly established.
