We have entered the category of developed countries. Our economy comes from tourism, fisheries, international business services, the digital economy. Well, recently we have plans to also promote something called health tourism or medical tourism. So far we have had hospitals, but they are still local. We now want to create health tourism. Because our tourists have come from developed countries,” he said.
“So tourists who come to Seychelles can spend 2 or 3 thousand dollars. Means having a high income. So, we are looking for health tourism products that are suitable to offer to people who travel. So while traveling, he can treat his health. Then, because we are located in the Indian Ocean, to the east of Africa, behind us is the African continent, why do Africans have to go all the way for treatment to Singapore, to Malaysia, to Europe? Health facilities that are equivalent to ASEAN and Europe already exist in Seychelles,” explained the Ambassador.

Nico Barito then explained. That’s why the President of the Republic of Seychelles assigned him together with the Minister of Health and the Minister in charge of Land and Development to visit ASEAN countries. “In the context of visiting ASEAN countries, I think the largest in ASEAN is Indonesia. So that’s why I think ASEAN has quite a lot of hospitals in Indonesia. I see that there are lots of hospitals if you search in Indonesia. But the hospital that is growing very quickly is Hermina Hospital. Quality and quality are always guaranteed.
“Then I suggested going to Indonesia and studying at Hermina Hospital. Starting from how it was built, how it was managed and what amazed us was that in Hermina Kemayoran there was another hotel. So this is integrated, right? Because the hotel that accompanies the patient can stay overnight. Those who are treated just need to get treatment. Then there is the Health Institute. So one roof service is very suitable for Seychelles. And because Seychelles has many islands. Hermina is also expanding to many islands,” Nico Barito said.
