Indonesia’s digital health strategy, Siloam Hospitals will
integrate AI into its healthcare management systems, including
telemedicine, electronic medical records, and remote patient
monitoring. The use of AI will improve patient outcomes, optimize
hospital operations, increase capacity and provide patients with
personalized, data-driven care, even in remote areas.

goals: The intended partnership aligns with the Indonesian
government’s strategy to enhance healthcare accessibility and
quality.
