Silo · Hospitals
Every accredited international and private hospital foreigners actually use, compared on accreditation, emergency capability, English support, location and insurance. Independent — no hospital pays to be ranked here.
The hospitals foreigners rely on are the accredited international and private hospitals clustered in the south — BIMC, Siloam, Kasih Ibu, Prima Medika, Bali Royal (BROS) and Surya Husadha — backed by the large public referral hospital, Prof. Ngoerah (formerly Sanglah), in Denpasar.

Bali’s hospitals split into two groups. Knowing which tier you need saves both time and money.
Built for a mixed local and foreign patient base: English-speaking doctors, international insurance and cashless billing, shorter waits and private rooms — at a higher price.
Best for: most tourists and expats, anything short of a critical emergency
Led by Prof. Ngoerah (Sanglah) in Denpasar, the island’s referral backbone for complex trauma, ICU and specialist cases. Lower cost; English support and comfort vary, and waits can be long.
Best for: severe trauma and critical care — where you may be taken regardless of preference
The shortlist foreigners most often need. Verify current hours and services with the hospital before you rely on them.

Care around Ubud — Surya Husadha Hospital

Public vs private — Prof. Ngoerah (Sanglah)Five criteria, weighted by what matters for your situation rather than in a fixed order.

Read the guide — AccreditationNot every hospital runs a full 24-hour ER or has trauma capacity.
Read the guide — Emergency capabilityReliable at the international hospitals; verify it for public facilities and by department.
Read the guide — English-speaking staffSouthern hospitals dominate, and some sit minutes from Ngurah Rai.
Read the guide — Location and airport proximityConfirm whether the hospital bills your insurer directly, or whether you pay and claim back.
Read the guide — Cost and insuranceThis is a hospital directory. For dental work, fertility and IVF, cosmetic procedures or stem-cell enquiries, a dedicated specialist centre will usually serve you better than a hospital. We say the category exists in Bali and point you at the specialist rather than writing treatment content we should not.
Private vs public hospitals in Bali is covered in its own guide.
For most foreigners the southern international hospitals — led by BIMC and Siloam — offer the best combination of English-speaking care, insurance handling and 24-hour emergency capability. The right choice still depends on your location and condition.
Yes. Private and international hospitals actively serve foreign patients, accept international insurance (often cashless) and have English-speaking staff. You do not need to be a resident. Confirm insurance acceptance in advance, or budget to pay and claim later.
The accredited international and private hospitals meet audited standards and are staffed by qualified, often internationally trained doctors. Public hospitals vary more.
Several southern hospitals sit close to Ngurah Rai, including a BIMC campus in Kuta. Our airport guide has distances and emergency routing.
It varies widely by procedure and tier, and foreigners typically pay international rates at private hospitals. Our cost guide gives realistic ranges and explains cashless billing.
