        "summary": "The development of the International Education, Technology, and Health Special Economic Zone (KEK ETKI) in Banten is poised to enhance Indonesia's economy by integrating advanced health services with technology and education, potentially attracting international patients and reducing medical tourism outflows. With Rp1.9 trillion in investments realised by the end of 2025, employing 836 workers and involving 14 businesses, the zone underscores the strategic role of special economic zones in driving investment in emerging sectors like healthcare. Officials emphasise that facilities such as the new Medical Suite in BSD City will provide global-standard care, supporting medical tourism and improving public health outcomes in Banten and beyond.",

Speaking in\nTangerang on Friday, Rizal Edwin Manansang said that the development of\nthe KEK ETKI in the region, with the health sector included, plays a\nstrategic role in Indonesia\u2019s economy. This is because nearly two\nmillion Indonesians seek treatment abroad each year. \u201cWith the presence\nof the Banten International Education, Technology, and Health Special\nEconomic Zone (KEK ETKI), it is hoped that it can provide\nglobal-standard health facilities and international-quality medical\nservices equivalent to those abroad,\u201d said Rizal Edwin Manansang after\nthe Topping Off ceremony for the medical suites at D-Hub SEZ BSD City,\nTangerang, on Friday. Based on data, the KEK ETKI Banten in the BSD City\nTangerang area has recorded an investment realisation of Rp1.9 trillion\nby the end of 2025, absorbing 836 workers, and involving 14 business\nactors. \u201cThis achievement shows that special economic zones are\nincreasingly playing a role in encouraging investment and the\ndevelopment of new sectors, including the health sector,\u201d he added. Not\nonly that, continued Rizal, the KEK ETKI is also expected to attract\npatients from abroad, making Indonesia a treatment destination. Thus,\npeople will not only go to Penang, Singapore, or Malacca to seek quality\nhospitals, but Banten can also become a destination for\ninternational-standard health services. Head of the Banten Provincial\nHealth Office Ati Pramudji Hastuti added that there are currently around\n135 hospitals in Banten Province with various classifications, from\ninternational to national standards, as well as types A, B, and C.\nMeanwhile, the health sector is one of the main pillars in realising\nbetter quality of life for individuals and the nation. The Banten\nProvincial Government through the Health Office is always committed to\nrealising \u201cHealthy Banten\u201d through various efforts to improve access and\nquality of health services for the community. The Medical Suite\nbuilding, she continued, is not just a physical structure, but a\nfacility that brings great hope in improving community health services.\nToday\u2019s inauguration is not merely ceremonial, but a symbol of the\ncommitment of the board of directors and management in delivering\nsustainable innovation, particularly in providing modern, integrated,\nand high-standard health services. \u201cIn recent years, efforts to develop\nmedical tourism have shown positive results, with foreign patients and\ntourists starting to come for treatment,\u201d she said. In addition, the\nexclusive and comfortable facilities in this medical suite are expected\nto provide a better service experience for patients. Not only from the\nmedical side, but also from the comfort and satisfaction side during the\ntreatment process, so as to support optimal healing. \u201cWe hope that after\nthis inauguration, the medical suite facility can operate optimally soon\nso that its benefits can be felt by the wider community as soon as\npossible. In the end, this will contribute to improving the health\nstatus of the community, especially in Banten Province and Indonesia in\ngeneral,\u201d she said.<\/p>",
