Gleneagles Jerudong Park Medical Centre (Gleneagles JPMC) recently expanded its medical tourism initiative into East Kalimantan, Indonesia through engagements with Rumah Sakit (RS) Parikesit and Bank Danamon.
More than 100 medical professionals and 30 banking clients attended separate sessions focusing on cardiac case discussions and heart health awareness.
The initiative aims to strengthen cross-border healthcare ties between Brunei Darussalam and the Indonesian province while positioning Gleneagles JPMC as a leading medical tourism destination in Borneo.
During the opening of each event, Gleneagles JPMC International Relations Executive Ms Josephina Yong introduced the hospital’s comprehensive suite of medical services, including several advanced technologies available only in Brunei within Southeast Asia.
The first visit was held at RS Parikesit in Tenggarong and centred on cardiac case discussions involving cardiologists, clinicians and nurses.
The session aimed to facilitate the exchange of medical expertise through discussions on several cardiac cases while also raising awareness of Gleneagles JPMC’s hospital profile and capabilities.
In his presentation, Chief of Clinical Services and Director of Cardiac Surgery Dr Eugene Sim shared several cardiac cases previously handled by Gleneagles JPMC, highlighting the hospital’s many medical “firsts” as well as the specialised services currently offered.
Also present during the session were RS Parikesit Director Dr Mauritz Silalahi and Gleneagles JPMC Chief Operating Officer Mr ‘Izzul Hamzi bin Haji Jomari.
