The Industrial Engineering lecturer developed \u2018Medical Tourism Indonesia\u2019.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u2018Medical Tourism Indonesia\u2019 is a platform for medical treatment packaged in tourism activity. Cited from <a href=\"https:\/\/medicaltourism.id\/\">medicaltourism.id<\/a> page, the platform offers comprehensive health features such as end-to-end services from pick-up service for medical tourists, accommodation, drop-off service to medical facilities, recovery tour trips, and taking them back home.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cMedical Tourism Indonesia is the \u2018Traveloka\u2019 of hospitals,\u201d dr Niko said to UNAIR NEWS on Friday, September 9, 2022.<\/p>\n\n<p>This innovation is claimed to bring in medical tourists from abroad and push down the number of Indonesians who prefer medical treatment abroad. According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imtj.com\/\">International Medical Travel Journal (IMTJ)<\/a>, approximately 3 million people get medical treatment overseas, which costs more than 100 Trillion Rupiah annually.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cThis is how we support the nation\u2019s economy through medical and tourism. People no longer have to get treatment overseas,\u201d said dr. Niko.<\/p>\n\n<p>Launched in 2021, the platform was initially in the form of social media for providing medical information. However, to offer wider impacts and excellent features\u2014such as price transparency in treatment, dr. Niko and his team started developing the Medical Tourism Indonesia application, which is now available to the public.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cWe have already prepared the payment (system, ed), the mechanism is the last feature to be improved,\u201d said dr. Niko.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Innovation Scale-up<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>The doctor said that Medical Tourism Indonesia is the scaled-up version of his preliminary breakthrough. Previously, the secretary of UNAIR Research and Community Service Institute (LPPM) had also launched vascularindonesia.com, a digital platform for treating patients with blood vessel problems.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cMy scale-up program is not within the finance sector only. The program I developed was called \u2018Vascular Indonesia Health Travel\u2019 in 2020 which eventually transformed into medical tourism. Medical tourism becomes my second platform,\u201d said dr. Niko.<\/p>\n\n<p>Every platform he builds is a service to the community. The doctor wants to help provide convenience and positive contributions to society.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not a pure business as I\u2019m a doctor. I\u2019m not the type of person who seeks billions of profits. I declared myself to contribute the social impact,\u201d said the cardiovascular thoracic surgeon.<\/p>\n\n<p>Author: Haryasnyah Setiawan<\/p>\n\n<p>Editor: Nuri Hermawan<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UNAIR NEWS \u2013 Universitas Airlangga lecturer dr Niko Azhari Hidayat Sp BTKV(K) created innovation and a breakthrough in the health sector.
