Bali is actively implementing new solutions to make healthcare faster and more reliable. Authorities and clinics emphasize that digitalization is not just empty words. Many remember the PeduliLindungi app, which helped track vaccinations during the COVID-19 pandemic.
One of the key modern projects is the SMILE app (Electronic Medical Logistics Monitoring System). It allows hospitals and government structures to track vaccines and medicines in real-time and distribute them evenly across provinces and hospitals. With its help, tens of millions of doses of drugs have been distributed in Indonesia, and tens of thousands of rabies vaccines on Bali. This is especially important for a tourist region. Now, data on drug stocks are updated online, without paperwork, speeding up responses to threats such as dengue outbreaks, new viral infections, or local drug shortages.
The field of medical waste management is also developing. Waste cannot simply be discarded at the overburdened landfill in Sanur. At Prof. Ngoerah Hospital, a sustainable disposal system is being tested through special autoclaves and the ME-SMILE platform, which has already processed over 50 thousand tons of waste in 50 hospitals.
Special attention is being paid to the Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) program. Ten Balinese laboratories analyze more than 10 thousand genomic virus samples annually, helping to timely identify their mutations and enhancing readiness for potential epidemics.
All these initiatives are modernizing Bali's healthcare and laying the groundwork for the development of medical tourism, especially in Sanur.
