Video: Indonesia's Medical Devices Modernisation, IRRA Introduces Advanced Surgical Technology

Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – PT Itama Ranoraya Tbk (IRRA), a medical equipment distributor, reiterates its commitment to meeting needs for medical devices, laboratory equipment, and pharmaceutical products to support national healthcare services.

IRRA’s Chief Executive Officer, Heru Firdausi Syarif, said the company holds a strategic position in backing government programmes to widen access to national medical devices. IRRA is not only a distributor but also a catalyst in Indonesia’s health transformation, helping to democratise the distribution of medical devices and supporting modernisation of medical equipment.

IRRA is introducing robotic technology to assist knee joint surgery, enabling medical professionals to carry out safer procedures with faster recovery times. IRRA also supplies brain mapping equipment to assist neurosurgical operations.

Nevertheless, Indonesia’s reliance on imported medical devices remains a challenge to accelerating independence in the national health device sector, and thus efforts to boost domestic production are crucial, driven by the local industry.
