With a history dating back more than 100 years, Royal Brompton & Harefield Hospitals (RBHH) forms the largest heart and lung specialist center in the UK, with dedicated experts and cutting-edge research that are among the best in the world. Under the agreement, Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri’s patients and families will be able to access RBHH’s eminent clinicians for second opinions and hold teleconferences with them to determine the best course of treatment or action. Additionally, Royal Brompton & Harefield Hospitals will provide education and remote training for MRHP’s healthcare professionals, collaborate to host joint events, and cooperate to set up state-of-the-art cardiorespiratory services at MRHP.

“We are attempting something absolutely unique in healthcare in Indonesia. It won’t only be achieved through the state-of-the-art technology we will have, although this is obviously an integral part of being able to offer clinical excellence,” said Dr. Benedictus R. Widaja, President Director of Mandaya Hospital Group.

“This is where our collaboration with Royal Brompton and Harefield is vital. Our commitment to openly communicate with patients and their families, to welcome and encourage collaboration between patients, their families, and healthcare professionals in Indonesia and in London, is an integral part of that patient-and-family-centered culture that we are fostering here at Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri.”

A step forward in reaching Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri’s goal to be the leading cardiovascular center in Indonesia, the partnership is a monumental effort towards MRHP’s commitment to provide personalized clinical excellence and patient-and-family-centered care, where patients are provided the best in medical expertise, not only in Indonesia but also at the world-class level that Royal Brompton and Harefield Hospitals is renowned for.

British Ambassador Owen Jenkins shared,

“This is a real milestone. In times when health solutions, in particular telemedicine, are right at the front of everybody’s minds, this example of how two world-class institutions could come together to share their expertise is of real value and a real hope to all of us.”
