Resilienceapac – Transforming Healthcare through the integration of digital technologies and robotics into healthcare services is no longer a distant vision. It is rapidly becoming a reality, especially in hospitals across Indonesia and the broader Asia-Pacific region. This transformation has gained significant momentum following the COVID-19 pandemic, which pushed healthcare systems worldwide to adopt more innovative solutions. As the pandemic subsides, the focus has shifted to sustaining and improving healthcare delivery through the strategic use of these advanced technologies.
The trend towards adopting digital and robotic technologies in healthcare gained considerable attention at the 2022 Global Health Asia-Pacific Award Conference, held at the Bangkok Marriott Hotel The Surawongse in Thailand. This event gathered healthcare professionals and hospital administrators from across the Asia-Pacific region to discuss the future of healthcare post-pandemic. The central theme was optimizing healthcare services through digital tools, robotics, telemedicine, and digital expansion.
Dr. Susan Ananda, CEO of Premier Jatinegara Hospital in Jakarta, emphasized how technological advancements have dissolved geographical barriers between patients and healthcare providers. “Distance is no longer a significant issue, thanks to the growth of telemedicine and robotic treatments,” she stated during the event. “To optimize hospital services today, we must embrace digitization, robotic treatment, and telemedicine.”

One of the highlights of the conference was the opportunity to collaborate with healthcare experts from across the region. Hospital administrators from countries such as Malaysia, Bangladesh, Vietnam, and Cambodia came together to explore ways to enhance healthcare delivery. Despite the differences in the development of healthcare infrastructure, all attendees shared a common goal: ensuring the continuity and improvement of healthcare services, especially in the post-pandemic era.
For Dr. Susan and her team, the conference was not only an opportunity to exchange ideas but also a chance to foster collaborations with hospitals in developing nations such as Cambodia, Vietnam, and Myanmar. These countries are witnessing rapid improvements in their healthcare capacity, and partnerships with leading hospitals in the Asia-Pacific region can help expedite these advancements.
A significant moment of the conference was the recognition of Premier Jatinegara Hospital, which received the prestigious “Indonesia Hospital of the Year 2022” award. This accolade highlights the hospital’s exceptional service and commitment to healthcare excellence. Dr. Susan expressed her pride in this achievement, noting that the award was a testament to the hospital’s dedication to providing high-quality healthcare.
The 2022 Global Health Asia-Pacific Award not only served as a platform for collaboration but also recognized hospitals that have demonstrated outstanding performance in the region. Premier Jatinegara Hospital, along with several other hospitals under the Ramsay Sime Darby Health Care group, were celebrated for their exceptional contributions to healthcare. Among the other awards, Subang Jaya Medical Centre stood out, winning six accolades, including “Stand-Out Jury Award Hospital of the Year” and “Oncology (Radiation) Service Provider of the Year.”
This recognition marks a pivotal moment in the hospital’s journey, encouraging continuous improvements and inspiring other healthcare institutions to follow suit in their pursuit of excellence.
The future of transforming healthcare in the Asia-Pacific region is undoubtedly shaped by the integration of digital and robotic technologies. These advancements promise not only to enhance the quality of care but also to expand access to healthcare services, particularly in underserved areas. As hospitals continue to innovate and collaborate, transforming healthcare in the region will lead to an evolving landscape, offering better outcomes for patients and healthcare professionals alike.
