JAKARTA – Health Minister Budi Gunadi Sadikin sees popular tourist destinations such as Bali and Labuan Bajo in East Nusa Tenggara as strategic locations to develop Indonesia’s medical tourism industry, amid efforts to reduce the number of citizens seeking treatment abroad.
He said that each year an estimated one million to two million Indonesians travel abroad for treatment, primarily to Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and the United States.
