Giri Asih Hospital in Blahkiuh Village, Abiansemal District, Badung,\nBali, has finally begun serving patients after its operational permit\nwas issued as of 30 April 2026. However, for full BPJS services,\nresidents are asked to be patient a little longer as the hospital must\nfirst undergo the accreditation process.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe operational permit has been issued after passing verification of\nthe Certificate of Functional Suitability, so it is now starting to\noperate, albeit limited to emergency services. In the next three months,\nthe hospital, together with the Health Department, will focus on\npursuing accreditation so that by October, it can fully collaborate with\nBPJS,\u201d said Badung Regent I Wayan Adi Arnawa on Tuesday (5\/5\/2026).<\/p>\n
He stated that technically, the facilities, medical equipment, and\npersonnel are all ready. In addition to the BPJS scheme, the Badung\nRegency Government is also preparing the Additional Benefits for Healthy\nBadung Children programme through the Health Department to ensure\nservices for residents.<\/p>\n
\u201cTechnically, everything is ready, including the same plan for Suwiti\nHospital in Petang to provide equivalent services. Specifically for\nBadung residents, we have designed additional services through the\nHealth Department to ensure that residents\u2019 health coverage is properly\naddressed,\u201d Adi Arnawa explained.<\/p>\n
Adi Arnawa urged all staff, from the director to specialist doctors,\nto take their service duties seriously to avoid any impressions of\nrudeness that could erode public trust. He targets Giri Asih Hospital\nnot only to become a referral centre in Bali but also to compete at an\ninternational level as a supporter of medical tourism.<\/p>\n
\u201cI do not want to hear any more complaints about room services or the\nhospitality of staff because this hospital is prepared as the best\nreferral. We must have appeal for medical tourism so that tourists do\nnot hesitate to holiday in Badung, considering our service capacity\nwhich is already very promising,\u201d he emphasised.<\/p>\n
Director of Giri Asih Hospital Abiansemal, Ni Luh Ketut Ayu\nRatnawati, acknowledged that currently, the hospital can only serve\ngeneral patients and emergency category cases for national health\ninsurance participants. For outpatient clinic to inpatient services for\nBPJS patients, the hospital still must wait for the accreditation\nprocess.<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause there is no collaboration with BPJS yet, currently only the\nemergency category can be claimed from them; the rest are general\npatients. Other services such as inpatient care, outpatient treatment,\nclinics, and operating rooms cannot yet use BPJS,\u201d said Dr Ayu.<\/p>\n
This hospital, with a capacity of 100 beds, targets the accreditation\nprocess to be completed in September. The completeness of service data,\nsuch as running inpatient care, outpatient treatment, clinics, and\noperations for more than three months ahead, is the main requirement\nbefore applying for collaboration (PKS) with BPJS Health.<\/p>\n
\u201cHopefully, by September, it will be achieved one by one. This also\nincludes physical work still ongoing, such as adding sinks in the\nclinics as well as repairs to the AHU and Chiller in the operating room,\nestimated to be completed in August or September. Once that work is\nfinished, we can accept surgical patients to fulfil the accreditation\ndata. After passing accreditation, we will then apply for credentialing\nto BPJS to enable full services,\u201d she explained.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/giri-asih-hospital-begins-operations-but-bpjs-services-await-accreditation-1778028910", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
