📋 Tender Overview
Scope : To Establish the Batam International Health Tourism Special Economic Zone (SEZ) in Indonesia
Chief Economic Affairs Minister Airlangga Hartarto recently approved the proposal to establish the Batam International Health Tourism Special Economic Zone (SEZ).
The Batam International Health Tourism SEZ covering an area of ??47.17 hectares, will be in the Sekupang area spanning ??23.10 Ha (Integrated Health Tourism) and the Nongsa area of ??24.08 hectares (Tourism). The Batam International Health Tourism SEZ aims to attract Rp 6.91 trillion by 2032. The SEZ is expected to provide jobs for 105,406 people for 80 years.
This proposal is considered to meet the requirements because it has 100 percent control of the land with the main investors, namely Apollo Hospitals India and Mayapada Group.
In Sekupang, the main healthcare facility will be carried out by the establishment of an international hospital (Mayapada Apollo Batam International Hospital). There will also be an international nursing academy, a "MedTech park" equipped with MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Convention & Exhibition), doctors' housing, a dormitory, hotels, and Retail. RSBP Batam and its supporting facilities will also be part of the SEZ whose services will be integrated with Mayapada Apollo Batam International Hospital.
The main tourism activities in Nongsa will be supported by the retirement village and clinic. There will also be cottages, bungalows, and motels intended for tourists, patients and accompanying families. Batam is directly adjacent to Singapore and Malaysia, hence making it a strategic location.
As many as 2 million Indonesians choose to get medical treatment abroad every year. About 1.5 million of which pick Malaysia and Singapore. The Batam International Health Tourism SEZ seeks to absorb 2 percent of the said 2 million medical tourists or approximately 40,000 people.
Mayapada Healthcare's president commissioner Johanes Tahir commented on the SEZ appointment.
There will soon be an international hospital in Batam that will be of interest to tourists with international standards.
