GE HealthCare will supply more than 300 CT (computed tomography) scanners under Indonesia’s Strengthening Indonesia’s Health Referral Network (SIHREN) programme to deliver equitable, high-quality care to more than 280 million Indonesians.
As part of a competitively awarded, multi-year contract, GE HealthCare will supply the advanced CT scanners to public hospitals across all 38 provinces, including urban and remote areas. The CT scanner procurement under SIHREN was conducted through a fully competitive international tender process governed by the Islamic Development Bank's procurement regulations.
SIHREN is the largest healthcare infrastructure investment in Indonesia’s history and among the largest multilateral health projects globally. SIHREN aims to modernise the national referral system and expand access to diagnostics and treatment across the archipelago, with a focus on non-communicable diseases (NCD) management, maternal health, and pandemic resilience.
By modernising the referral network and expanding access to advanced diagnostics across all provinces, the collaboration is bringing equitable, high-quality care closer to every community—urban and remote alike. Access to life-saving CT technology will enable early detection and timely treatment of critical conditions such as cancer, stroke, and heart disease, helping save lives and improve health outcomes for Indonesians nationwide.
To deepen its local footprint, GE HealthCare recently inaugurated a production facility in Bogor, in collaboration with PT Kalbe Farma’s subsidiary, Forsta. This local manufacturing facility is aimed at strengthening Indonesia’s supply chain resilience
