International Health Insurance in Indonesia
Among the most populous nations on the planet, Indonesia is 17,000 islands of vibrant cities, tranquil natural wonders and stunning biodiversity.
This southeast-Asian nation has a burgeoning work environment across a range of growing industries, from the bustling capital of Jakarta to the tourist hubs of Bali and Yogyakarta.
The best healthcare here is found in the private sector. So, ensure you’re covered ahead of your adventures in the archipelago with expat health insurance in Indonesia from Cigna Healthcare.
How does the healthcare system work in Indonesia?
A large populace and many remote, rural areas mean public healthcare can be difficult to come by in much of the country. The lack of service outside of the cities results in more populous areas taking the strain of public healthcare requirements.
Expats opt for private healthcare to guarantee faster, more efficient access and services that are more readily available across the islands of Indonesia.
Good international health insurance in Indonesia can be a game changer, as you can access private healthcare at an effective cost. This is hugely important for expats as they are not included in the government cover as per Indonesia’s public healthcare scheme. Browse expat health insurance in Indonesia with Cigna Healthcare.
