Murni Teguh Hospital Bandung Opens Regenerative Medicine Service, Stem Cell Therapy to Extend Life Expectancy
Hospitals in Bandung continue to enhance their services and quality. One institution that has continuously innovated and expanded its offerings is Murni Teguh Hospital, located on Jalan Naripan.
Most recently, Murni Teguh Hospital has launched its Regenerative Medicine service. One component of this offering is cell-based therapy, which includes stem cells, secretome, exosomes, SVF and PRP.
“The Regenerative Medicine service at Murni Teguh Hospital was officially opened on Thursday (12 March) by the President Director of PT Murni Sadar (Murni Teguh Hospital Group), Dr Mutiara. Unlike similar services at other hospitals, we have implemented an integrated service, the first of its kind in Bandung,” explained Ruly Sjambali, Director of Murni Teguh Hospital Bandung, on Friday (13 March).
Regenerative Medicine is a service involving various scientific disciplines aimed at repairing, replacing and regenerating cells, tissues and organs of the body that have worn out or been damaged, so they function normally again.
He revealed that approximately 50 doctors from various specialisations are involved in the Regenerative Medicine service team at Murni Teguh Hospital. For this service, Murni Teguh Hospital Group already possesses a genetics laboratory.
“We are also continuously equipping ourselves with equipment. Additionally, Murni Teguh Hospital in Bandung will also prepare a laboratory,” he added.
Sjambali is optimistic that through the therapies offered, residents can improve their health quality whilst also extending their life expectancy.
“In Indonesia, life expectancy is estimated to reach 70 years, but in reality increasingly more residents are living beyond that age. I am optimistic that by receiving stem cell therapy and improving lifestyle habits, we can extend the life expectancy of Indonesian residents to an average of 101 years,” he emphasised.
He added that in Indonesia, stem cell therapy that already has regulatory approval is in the fields of cosmetic surgery and orthopaedics. Meanwhile, the same therapy for heart conditions, cancer, kidney disease and diabetes is still in the research phase.
Orthopaedics and Cosmetic Surgery
Meanwhile, Dr Indahwaty, a member of the medical team of the Regenerative Medicine Service at Murni Teguh Hospital, stated that currently for public service, Murni Teguh Hospital is offering services in the fields of orthopaedics and cosmetic surgery.
“In the field of bone and joint health, regenerative medicine is useful for repairing bones, joints, cartilage, ligaments and damaged and worn soft tissues. Some examples of cases include osteoarthritis, soft tissue injuries and nerve injuries or spinal cord compression,” she continued.
Meanwhile, in the field of aesthetics and cosmetic surgery, regenerative medicine is useful for skin rejuvenation, reducing wrinkles, improving skin elasticity, addressing ageing, repairing scars and acne, hair growth, chronic wound healing and fat transfer.
“In addition to undergoing cell-based therapy, if combined with a healthy lifestyle that includes proper nutrition, exercise and physical activity, sufficient sleep and stress management, we are confident this will enable people to achieve a longer life expectancy.
Murni Teguh Hospital Group has set a target that through Regenerative Medicine and Healthy Life services, residents will be able to achieve a life expectancy of 101 years.
