Hospitals in Bali

For serious, potentially life-threatening issues that require immediate, specialized treatment, like breathing difficulties, severe bleeding, or head injuries. Non-urgent visits use up resources needed for emergency patients. ERs are for serious, life-threatening issues. Going there for something like cellulitis adds to doctors’ workload and may take time away from those in critical need.

Walk-in clinics

Best for minor conditions needing same-day, in-person specialist attention—like X-rays for sprains or cuts that may need stitches, injections, advanced diagnostics, or other invasive procedures.

Pharmacies in Bali, Indonesia

In Bali, pharmacies are called apotek. They are typically marked with a green cross or a sign that says “apotek” and are found throughout towns, cities, and tourist areas. Many provide English-speaking service, especially in popular destinations.

Antibiotic Policy in Bali

In Bali, while antibiotics legally require a prescription from a licensed doctor, it is common practice for pharmacies to sell them over the counter without one.

Emergency Number in Bali, Indonesia

In Bali, the primary emergency number for police assistance is 110. For medical emergencies and ambulances, dial 118, and for fire services, use 113. These numbers are toll-free and available 24/7 from any phone.

Operators typically speak Bahasa Indonesia, and in tourist areas like Bali, there may be limited English support. It’s helpful to stay calm, speak clearly, and provide your exact location when calling.

Please remember: These emergency numbers are intended for life-threatening situations only. For urgent but non-life-threatening medical concerns, consider using a telehealth service like Doctorsa to speak with a licensed English-speaking doctor quickly and affordably.
