Indonesia's Healthcare Transformation: 300+ CT Scanners to Reach Every Province

Indonesia is set for a major healthcare upgrade as GE HealthCare partners with the Indonesian Ministry of Health to deploy cutting-edge diagnostic equipment nationwide. A landmark initiative will see more than 300 advanced CT scanners installed across public healthcare facilities spanning all 38 provinces by 2028, marking a pivotal shift in the country’s approach to disease detection and patient care.

Scaling Diagnostics to Remote Areas

The deployment forms the backbone of the Strengthening Indonesia’s Health Referral Network (SIHREN) program, a competitively bid multi-year initiative overseen by World Bank procurement standards. This institutional safeguard ensures transparent governance and sustainable implementation. The scope goes beyond urban centers—the rollout specifically targets both metropolitan hospitals and remote regional facilities, addressing long-standing disparities in diagnostic access.

For Indonesia’s 280+ million population, reliable CT imaging has remained a bottleneck in healthcare delivery. This partnership fundamentally reshapes that reality by prioritizing underserved communities alongside established medical centers.

Tackling Non-Communicable Diseases at Scale

The strategic focus centers on early detection of non-communicable diseases (NCDs)—cancer, cardiovascular conditions, and stroke—which represent growing health burdens across Southeast Asia. Early intervention through advanced imaging dramatically improves treatment outcomes and reduces mortality rates. By embedding CT technology into the national referral system, the initiative strengthens maternal health monitoring and strengthens pandemic preparedness capabilities.

Building Healthcare Resilience

This collaboration reflects a broader commitment to modernizing Indonesia’s health infrastructure and elevating diagnostic standards. With timely imaging access, clinicians gain the capability to identify critical conditions before they become acute emergencies. The investment positions the Indonesian healthcare system to provide life-saving interventions to millions of citizens across urban and rural regions alike.
