Emergency Medical Services in Bali: A Traveler’s Quick Guide

Bali is a dream destination, famous for its lush rice terraces, pristine beaches, and vibrant culture. But even in paradise, accidents and health issues can strike unexpectedly. Whether you’re dealing with a scooter accident in Kuta, sudden dehydration in Ubud, or a severe case of Bali Belly in Seminyak, knowing how to access emergency medical services can be a lifesaver. This quick guide will walk you through Bali’s emergency numbers, hospital options, and how Trishnanda Care Centre can deliver fast, on-demand healthcare directly to your door.

What to Do in a Medical Emergency in Bali

  1. Stay Calm
    In any crisis, keeping a clear head is crucial. If someone is hurt or you’re experiencing severe symptoms, do a quick assessment—are you safe where you are? Is immediate first aid possible?

     

  2. Call Emergency Services

     

    • General Emergency: 112 (or +62 112 if dialing from an international phone)

       

    • Police: 110 (or +62 110)

       

    • Ambulance/Medical Emergencies: 118 or 119 (or +62 118 / +62 119)

       

    • Fire Department: 113 (or +62 113)

       

    • Search & Rescue: 115 (or +62 115)

       

  3. If you’re not sure who to call first, start with the general emergency line (112).

     

  4. Ask for Help
    Balinese locals are generally very friendly and helpful. Don’t hesitate to ask a hotel staff member, a passerby, or a local resident for assistance. They often know the nearest clinics, hospitals, or doctor-on-call services.

     

  5. Contact Mobile Healthcare
    If you’re in a tourist-heavy area (like Canggu, Seminyak, or Ubud), consider calling a mobile healthcare provider such as Trishnanda Care Centre. In many cases, a doctor or nurse can come to you faster than an ambulance—especially if traffic is heavy.

How Much Does It Cost to See a Doctor in Bali?

  • Costs vary depending on the facility and type of treatment:

    • On-Call Doctor Services: Some providers charge between IDR 800K and 1.5 million for a single consultation. However, Trishnanda’s Doctor Services start at IDR 550K, making it more budget-friendly.

    • Hospital Fees: Private hospitals, particularly in tourist hubs, can be significantly pricier for emergency care and overnight stays.

    • Lab Tests & IV Therapy: Tests for conditions like dengue or typhoid can range from a few hundred thousand IDR to several million IDR, depending on the complexity.

    If you have travel health insurance, these costs can be partially or fully reimbursed, so keep detailed medical receipts and reports.

Does Bali Have Good Medical Facilities?

  1. Yes—Bali’s healthcare landscape has evolved to meet the needs of millions of annual visitors:

    • Private Hospitals: Places like BIMC Hospital (Kuta, Nusa Dua) and Siloam Hospital (Kuta) are well-equipped, often with English-speaking staff.

    • Specialty Clinics: You’ll find clinics specializing in everything from dental care to sports injuries.

    • Mobile Healthcare Services: An increasingly popular option, offering on-demand visits and comprehensive care, including lab tests, IV drips, and more.

    Keep in mind that medical facilities in more remote regions may have limited resources, so you might need to travel to a larger town or rely on a mobile service if you’re far from the tourist centers.

How Do You Call 911 in Bali?

  1. Indonesia doesn’t use 911 as an emergency number. Instead, you have these main lines:

    • 112 – General Emergency (similar to 911 in concept)

    • 110 – Police

    • 118 or 119 – Ambulance/Medical Emergencies

    • 113 – Fire Department

    • 115 – Search & Rescue

    If you’re dialing from an international phone, add Indonesia’s country code (+62) and remove any leading zeros. For example, +62 112. It’s a good idea to store these numbers in your phone before your trip.

How to Dial Emergency Numbers from an International Phone

      1. Start with the “+” or “00”
        This indicates an international call.

      2. Add Indonesia’s Country Code (62)

      3. Dial the Emergency Number
        Omit any leading zeros. For instance, +62 112 for general emergencies.

Important Local Numbers

  1. If you’re in a bind, here are some essential contacts (with the +62 prefix if dialing internationally):

    • Tourist Assistance Centre: (0)361 224111

    • Siloam Hospital Kuta: (0)361 779911 (24h)

    • Kasih Ibu Hospital Denpasar: (0)361 227911

    • BIMC Hospital Kuta: (0)361 761263

    • BIMC Hospital Nusa Dua: (0)361 3000911

    • Tourist Police Kuta: (0)361 7845988

    • Tourist Police Airport: (0)361 9351023

    Tip: Due to traffic or other infrastructure issues, an ambulance might take longer than expected. Sometimes, it’s faster to head to the nearest medical facility via taxi or private transport if the situation allows.

When to Use Mobile Healthcare Services

  1. In many emergencies, mobile healthcare can be a quicker, more comfortable alternative:

    • Bali Belly: If you’re experiencing severe diarrhea, vomiting, or dehydration, a nurse or doctor can come to you, administer IV fluids, and provide medication.

    • Dengue Fever: Early detection is crucial. Mobile healthcare can conduct on-site tests and offer supportive treatments like IV therapy.

    • Minor Injuries: Cuts, scrapes, or mild fractures can often be treated without a hospital visit if you have a qualified professional on hand.

    • Follow-Up Care: Even after hospital discharge, on-demand visits help monitor your recovery.

    Trishnanda Care Centre operates 24/7, offering everything from general checkups to advanced IV drips—delivered right to your villa, hotel, or homestay.

Quick Steps for Handling Common Emergencies

  1. Scooter Accidents

    • Move to a safe spot off the road.

    • Check for injuries (yours and others).

    • Call 112 for severe injuries or 110 for police assistance.

    • If it’s minor, consider contacting a mobile healthcare service to avoid waiting for an ambulance.

  2. Severe Dehydration or Heat Exhaustion

    • Move to a cool, shaded area.

    • Sip water or an electrolyte drink.

    • If symptoms worsen (dizziness, rapid heartbeat), contact emergency services or a mobile provider for an IV drip.

  3. High Fever (Suspected Dengue or Malaria)

    • Stay hydrated and rest.

    • Monitor temperature closely.

    • If fever persists, call a doctor-on-call for tests and supportive treatment.

    • Seek hospital care if symptoms escalate (persistent vomiting, severe abdominal pain, bleeding gums).

  4. Bali Belly

    • Replenish fluids with water or oral rehydration solutions.

    • If diarrhea and vomiting last more than 24 hours, or if you see signs of severe dehydration (dizziness, confusion), seek medical help.

Trishnanda can provide an on-site IV drip to rehydrate you quickly.

FAQs: Emergency Medical Services in Bali

What to do in a medical emergency in Bali?

Stay calm, call 112 (general emergency) or the specific service (110, 118, 119), and ask locals for help. If you’re in a tourist area, a mobile healthcare service like Trishnanda may arrive faster than an ambulance.

 It varies. Some on-call services charge up to IDR 1.5 million. Trishnanda starts at IDR 550K. Hospital fees can be higher, especially in private facilities.

Yes. Urban areas like Kuta and Denpasar have reputable hospitals (BIMC, Siloam), and mobile healthcare services also offer quality care. Remote regions may have fewer options.

Bali doesn’t use 911. Dial 112 for general emergencies or +62 112 from an international phone. Other key numbers include 110 for police and 118/119 for medical emergencies.

Most comprehensive travel policies will reimburse medically necessary treatments, including doctor-on-call visits. Keep your receipts and medical reports.

Many do, especially in tourist hotspots. In remote areas, consider bringing someone who speaks Indonesian or ask your hotel staff for assistance.
