Bali paediatrician: the best clinics for expatriates

Moving to Bali with children is an idyllic adventure, between international schools and luxuriant nature. But to make the most of this new life, one priority is essential: your children’s health.

While the public system may seem confusing, Bali has a private network of top-quality clinics and hospitals, perfectly suited to expatriate families. Here is our 2026 selection of the best addresses, classified by zone, so you’ll never be caught unprepared.

Where to find the best pediatric care?

Canggu & Seminyak: The heart of expatriate families

  • Siloam Medika (Canggu): An extension of the renowned Siloam network. Ideal for light pediatric emergencies and routine consultations. Staff are fluent in English.
  • The Medical (Canggu): Open 24 hours a day, this establishment is acclaimed for its efficiency. It offers home visits and teleconsultations, a real plus for young parents.
  • Puri Medical Clinic (Seminyak): A 24-hour clinic renowned for its professionalism in general and pediatric medicine, including full laboratory services.

Kuta & Denpasar: The major hospitals

  • BIMC Hospital (Kuta): The historic benchmark. Internationally accredited, BIMC offers an intensive care unit (ICU) and pediatric specialists available day and night.
  • Kasih Ibu Hospital (Denpasar): One of the island’s most advanced hospitals. Very comprehensive, it is particularly recommended for maternity and specialized pediatric care.
  • Prima Medika (Denpasar): Excellent value for money, much appreciated by locals and expatriates alike for child care.

Ubud: Health in the center of the island

  • BIMC Ubud Medical Centre: Same standards as Kuta’s BIMC, with diagnostic services and pediatric psychiatry.
  • Kenak Medika Hospital: Modern and well-equipped, this is the most reassuring option for night-time emergencies in Ubud.

Sanur & The South (Bukit/Uluwatu)

  • Bali International Hospital (Sanur): A brand-new facility offering state-of-the-art care (neurology, dermatology, emergencies).
  • Unicare Clinic (Uluwatu): In the absence of a major hospital in the south, Unicare is the savior of Bukit families for primary care and check-ups.

Essential reflexes for parents

The vaccination calendar

Indonesia presents specific risks. In addition to the standard vaccines (DTP, MMR), we strongly recommend that you vaccinate your children against :

  • Japanese encephalitis (especially near rural areas).
  • La Rage (Bali remains an active zone).
  • Typhoid fever (linked to food hygiene).

Drug availability

While major brands such as Guardian or Kimia Farma are everywhere, some specific vaccines or background treatments may be out of stock. Anticipate your stocks and always ask your clinic to order in advance.

Bali Belly” in children

Dehydration happens very quickly in the tropics. Clinics such as Ubud Care offer rapid rehydration (IV) treatments that are highly effective in getting little travelers back on their feet.

Why is international insurance your best ally?

The Indonesian healthcare system is not linked to the French Sécurité Sociale system. Without appropriate coverage, each visit can put a heavy strain on your budget.

With Santexpat, you benefit from :

  • Tiers-Payant : So you don’t have to pay the often very high cost of hospitalization in advance.
  • Teleconsultation in French: Indispensable for talking to a French-speaking pediatrician in the middle of the night.
  • Medical Repatriation: A vital option in the event of serious illness requiring transfer to Singapore.

Expert advice: Don’t settle for temporary travel insurance. For a long-term expatriation to Bali, opt for a 1st euro solution or one that complements the CFE, guaranteeing long-term care for your children.
