“Delivering better care for more people requires strong partnerships and the best innovations,” said Roy Jakobs, CEO of Royal Philips. “We’re honored to be Indonesia’s partner of choice to deliver our innovation directly where it’s needed most. More patients in Indonesia will now have access to better care.”
“Minimally invasive care is life-changing for patients, unlocking treatment options that were once unimaginable. With small incisions, such targeted treatments can mean shorter hospital stays, fewer complications and quicker recoveries for patients,” said Carla Goulart Peron, Chief Medical Officer at Philips. “From opening heart-attack-causing blockages, to treating strokes and targeting cancer tumors, image-guided, minimally invasive therapy will be a game-changer for NCD care in Indonesia.”
Philips maintains a strong footprint in Indonesia, employing over 3,900 people across 12 cities and operating a manufacturing facility in Batam for its Personal Health businesses. The Philips Foundation recently launched a major partnership with World Child Cancer to advance early detection of childhood cancers across the country.
“We remain committed to supporting healthcare transformation by delivering innovations that provide better outcome for patient and improve experience for healthcare workers,” said Astri R. Dharmawan, President Director of Philips Indonesia. “Our combined efforts with the Indonesian government will help close healthcare gaps and bring us closer to a Healthy Indonesia.”
