Indonesia: State of Healthcare

I have a colleague who had a motorbike accident and broken 2 bones in his leg had plates and pins and is on the road to full recovery. There has been no complications or issues. He is in England and now and the doctors there have said nothing contrary to the advice he was given here. My wife had a caesarean to deliver my son and the care she received was amazing. For me I am rarely sick but the last few times I have been I met an English speaking doctor at my local hospital, its not a special Expat one but just a normal city hospital which was excellent.
However, the horror stories do outweigh the good I guess and so I can understand why certain generations choose to receive health care overseas. As there are tiers to hospital care here, I guess the more you pay the better service you get and the more trained staff available. Some hospitals have better reputations than others and again this helps explain mistrust in the level of care.
If I fall ill I am not in position to fly to Singapore or Malaysia for care, I will go to the local hospital and check in, in the belief that if they can look after me once then they can do it again.

You can bet that the vast majority of Indonesians who go to Singapore for their medical care are Chinese-Indonesians.  And that's just the way it is.   

As for me and my family, we've all had nothing but excellent experiences with the medical care here.  That said, I do admit that in my early years of living here I would head off to Bumrungrad in Bangkok for my own care...but not these days.

I am happy using the local hospitals and doctors for most illnesses. However, should I need another knee operation or another back operation for a slipped disc or something else very important then without doubt I would go overseas to Singapore or Malaysia. Same goes for my wife and kids, anything major and we would go overseas.
