Emirates-Indonesia Cardiology Hospital to Serve BPJS Patients

Jakarta: The Ministry of Health has confirmed that the Emirates-Indonesia Cardiology Hospital in Surakarta, Central Java, is ready to serve patients under the national health insurance scheme, BPJS Kesehatan, as part of efforts to expand public access to specialized health services.

In a statement received on Friday, Health Minister Budi Gunadi Sadikin said the move reflects the government’s commitment to ensuring the hospital remains a public asset accessible to the wider community.

“This hospital must be well maintained. It belongs to the Indonesian people,” Sadikin said, as quoted from Antara, Friday 30 January 2026.

Located at Solo Technopark, the Emirates-Indonesia Cardiology Hospital has treated 582 patients since it officially began operations.

Built through a grant from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) government, the hospital is currently prioritizing service integration to enable it to accept BPJS Kesehatan patients in the near future, thereby broadening access to cardiac care.

Surakarta Mayor Respati Ahmad Ardianto said the administrative process required for BPJS participation is being accelerated.

“We are targeting completion within the next six months so the hospital can start serving BPJS Kesehatan patients,” Ardianto said.

Hospital management, represented by Eniarti, President Director of Dr. Sardjito General Hospital as the supervising institution, said affordability remains a key focus of the hospital’s operations.

“We are working to ensure BPJS Kesehatan patients can access these services across all segments of society,” she said.

BPJS services at the hospital will be supported by advanced medical facilities, including a Hybrid Cath Lab and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology, which are expected to improve the handling of complex cardiac cases, particularly those requiring urgent treatment during critical periods.
