Southeast Asia’s largest dental hospital in Serpong, Indonesia
Dental Asia was invited to the Topping-Off Ceremony of the Royal Dental Hospital (RDH), the first integrated dental hospital in Indonesia and the largest in Southeast Asia. Held on November 2, 2016, the event was hosted by Mr. Erwin Parengkuan and attended by renowned figures in Indonesia such as Tangerang Regent, Ahmed Zaki Iskandar B. Bus.; Head of Health Offices of Tangerang Regency, drg. Hj. Naniek Isnaeni M. Kes; Director of PT. Royal Abadi Dentalindo, drg. Jeddy Sp. KGA; and Director of Royal Dental Hospital, drg. Johanes Hendri, Sp.BM, M. Kes, MARS; as well as actress and model drg. Ully Triani. Guests gathered around to witness partnerships formed between RDH corporate partners, universities in Indonesia and insurance companies.
The “Topping Off” Ceremony held at the 17th level (helipad) of the RDH facility.
Topping off for all partners
drg. Jeddy indicated that the ceremony was held as a form of enthusiasm and gratitude from the RDH management, as construction has already entered its final phase (completion). This finishing stage is expected to be completed by early next year. The event also serves as a notice to the general public about the existence of RDH, which will soon be operational.
“Our goal is to introduce the concept to all our partners and stakeholders, including tenants, suppliers, the academe, media, medical personnels and organisations, insurance companies, BPJS and so forth. We want them to see the value and potential of RDH as a future investment. Our hope is to be able to work and grow with our stakeholders,” one doctor said.
Furthermore, drg. Jeddy added that insurance companies have already pledged their cooperation in providing dental healthcare facilities, such as PT Tirta Medical Centre (a subsidiary of Singapore-based Fullerton Healthcare Group), which provides health services with focus on the needs of corporate customers – from employee health services to corporate support services to optimise company productivity. PT Tirta Medical Centre has about 50,000 local and international participants.
PT Tokio Marine Life Insurance Indonesia (25,000 participants) and PT Citra Husada Indonesia (Panasonic Group) (7,000 participants) have also pledged their copperation, as well as PT AdMedika.
Additionally, RDH also invited academic faculties of dentistry from Airlangga University and Hang Tuah University to join in collaborative programmes, as well as the Indonesian Navy School of Health (SEKESAL) and Hang Tuah Dental Engineering Academy (ATG Hang Tuah).
drg. Dian Mulawarmanti MS, Dean of the Faculty of Dentistry of Hang Tuah University, shared her enthusiasm to synergise with RDH. “First, it is because RDH facilitates career services for our graduates. Secondly, through the approach taken by RDH for educational institutions, we believe that they are seriously concerned about the quality of human resources that will eventually become their medical personnel. This becomes more valuable for us and we highly appreciate it,” she explained further.
To honour these partnerships, the ceremony also served as a symbolic moment for the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between RDH and its partners.
