As Indonesia’s affluent people increasingly seek advanced medical services abroad, Japan is positioned to become a key destination through the JCB Advanced Medical Tourism Program, which offers unique healthcare experiences in Tokyo.
Traditionally, affluent Indonesians have favored Singapore and Malaysia for medical tourism due to their proximity and high-quality healthcare. However, Japan is entering the spotlight with targeted programs designed to overcome language barriers and provide exclusive medical checkup services in Tokyo, aiming to attract Indonesia’s upper class.
Spearheaded by PT JCB International Indonesia, the program promotes high-class medical tourism to Japan, offering an unmatched experience in healthcare hospitality known as ‘Omotenashi’ exclusively for JCB cardholders.
The initiative specifically emphasizes comprehensive medical checkups in Tokyo, partnering with top Japanese hospitals to integrate cutting-edge medical technology with thorough follow-up care in Indonesia.
This endeavor is a collaboration between JCB Indonesia, One Medica, and Kyoai Medical Services, aiming to improve the quality of life for Indonesian clients by merging Japanese medical advancements with local follow-up treatments.
The program addresses initial hesitations due to language and accessibility, providing necessary support and information to ensure Indonesian patients feel comfortable and informed throughout their medical journey in Japan.
