T
he Mayo Clinic, a United States-based medical nonprofit, has said it is strictly serving as a consultant for the development of the Bali International Hospital and has no part in running the government-supported healthcare facility intended to encourage Indonesian patients to seek advanced care domestically.
Royston Lek, the Mayo Clinic International’s executive director for the Asia-Pacific region, told The Jakarta Post the hospital was providing strategic advice and acting as a clinical knowledge partner for its Indonesian counterpart.
“We’re not running it,” Lek said in an interview on Thursday.
He did not rule out the possibility of more collaboration in the future.
“Pertamina Central Hospital [RSPP] is part of the Mayo Clinic Care Network, but obviously Bali International Hospital will become our partner in the future, but we’re currently just doing a consultation with them,” he said separately.
