Indonesia's Siloam plans to double number of hospitals
21-Mar-17, Nikkei Asian Review
Indonesia's Siloam International Hospitals aims to double the number of its hospitals to 50 by 2019. The country's largest hospital operator expects to expand into remote areas, including the island of New Guinea, now that a universal health care system has been introduced, allowing low-income people to seek medical treatment.

Siloam President Romeo Lledo said the company will also look to expand via acquisitions.
Indonesia has only one hospital bed per 1,000 people, compared with the global average of two to three. So there is significant room for growth in the medical care market.
