There are a few doctor practices in the Lovina area, mostly they are open in the evening and usually very busy, most of the time they are local doctors and their English could be limited, so if you need to go there it would be best to bring someone who can speak Indonesian.

What about hospitals in the Lovina area?
There are no hospitals in Lovina, all major hospitals are in Singaraja. There are several major hospitals in the Buleleng Regency, with the highest concentration clustered in the central city of Singaraja. The region houses a mix of massive state-operated regional facilities and modern private hospitals. All major emergency departments (UGD/IGD) listed below are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
The top three private hospitals in Singaraja for international tourists
RS BaliMed Buleleng,
Kertha Usadha Hospital,
Parama Sidhi General Hospital.
The hospitals are equipped with English-speaking doctors and emergency staff to assist foreign travelers navigating an unfamiliar medical system. These facilities operate on standard Indonesian medical regulations where payment verification must be secured prior to major diagnostic testing or hospital admission.
To handle hospital administration smoothly as a tourist in Singaraja, you need to present the following five items:
Physical Passport: Used to legally register your name and age. A high-quality digital scan on your phone is usually accepted for initial emergency check-in.
Insurance Certificate or Card: Must show your full name, policy number, and the insurer’s 24/7 international emergency contact number for billing coordination.
Credit Card or Cash (IDR): Required for an upfront deposit or to pay out-of-pocket if your insurance does not support direct local billing.
Active Indonesian Visa: Your physical or electronic Visa on Arrival (e-VOA) to verify your legal tourist status in the country.
Medical Summary Note: A quick written list of your known drug allergies, current prescriptions, or major pre-existing conditions for patient safety.
RS BaliMed Buleleng
RS BaliMed Buleleng belongs to a well-known private hospital network across Bali. It functions as a modern general hospital equipped with 24-hour emergency services, a radiology department featuring CT scans, an on-site pharmacy, and a suite of medical specialists. As a foreign tourist, you will find English-speaking medical staff available to clearly explain diagnoses and treatment plans, minimizing language barriers during stressful health situations. The hospital has an administration desk that processes direct cashless claims for global insurance partners. If a foreign patient lacks direct billing insurance, the administrative procedure requires paying an initial cash or credit card deposit at the admission desk, after which the hospital issues itemized invoices and medical reports in English to facilitate manual insurance reimbursement.

Kertha Usadha Hospital
This private facility has a long operating history in North Bali and handles a significant portion of the region’s foreign tourists due to its proximity to central Singaraja and nearby resort areas. The primary physicians and ER nurses speak English fluently, which is vital for communicating complex medical histories or sudden symptoms. The administration setup features a dedicated billing team accustomed to coordinating directly with international travel insurance providers to secure Guarantees of Payment (GOP). For tourists paying out of pocket, the administrative procedure involves registering at the front desk with a passport, paying for consultations or emergency triage via cash or major credit cards at the cashier, and collecting English-translated records for personal claims.

Services like Medisfera Bali or Pure Bali Pharmacy Medical Assistance provide full English-language support via WhatsApp and can dispatch a doctor or emergency IV drips directly to Lovina.

What if you are staying the west part of the region?
In the area of Dencarik or Lokapaksa where there are a lot of holiday villa’s you will find yourself in a slightly more remote area and you always should ask the staff of the villa first how to deal with this.
While there are direct medical options right next door in Seririt, their quality and foreigner-readiness are quite low. If you have a serious or non-life-threatening medical need, your strategy should depend strictly on the severity of your situation.
For Immediate Emergency Stabilization (Closest)
If you require immediate medical stabilization (within a 5-to-10-minute drive), the closest and most convenient option would be RSU Shanti Graha.
RSU Shanti Graha (Private – Type D)
A small, 50-bed private hospital. It is generally much cleaner and faster than public alternatives in the immediate area, with friendly local nursing teams.
English is limited to a few senior staff members, and they do not have a dedicated international insurance branch.

In case of general illness or “Bali Belly”
If you are dealing with common ailments like food poisoning, high fevers, ear infections, or minor injuries, do not go to the local Seririt hospitals. Instead, make use of the highly convenient, bilingual services tailored for tourists along the coast:
Dr. Rio Putratama Achmad Faried (Bilingual GP)
An exceptional general practitioner based out of Apotek Ina Farma 2 in nearby Lovina. He maintains a stellar 4.9-star rating and is the top choice for expats in the area.

WhatsApp Booking: +62 819-4980-9800
For Major, Insured Medical Care (35–45 Minute Drive)
If your condition is stable enough for a 35-to-45-minute drive eastward down the main coastal road, you should bypass Seririt entirely and head straight into central Singaraja to RS Parama Sidhi.
