Philips executives meet with Siloam Hospitals Group
Siloam Hospitals Group and Royal Philips have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) aimed at enhancing AI capabilities in Indonesia’s healthcare system.
The collaboration, which includes Universitas Pelita Harapan (UPH), seeks to modernize healthcare by supporting the country’s digital health transformation strategy. Key focus areas include deploying Philips' AI technology in clinical settings such as radiology, pathology, and cardiology at Siloam Hospitals.
The partnership also emphasizes capacity building, with training programs to develop local expertise in AI and digital health. The initiative, led by UPH, will prepare healthcare professionals, IT specialists, and students for AI integration in clinical environments. Philips will share global best practices, aligning with Indonesia's healthcare goals to enhance accessibility and quality.
Additional efforts will focus on integrating AI into digital health platforms such as telemedicine and electronic medical records, which will extend personalized, data-driven care to remote areas. The partnership also aligns with environmental, social, and governance (ESG) priorities, advancing sustainability and equitable healthcare access.
Caroline Riady, CEO of Siloam Hospitals Group, called the initiative a “significant milestone” in advancing healthcare technology in Indonesia, while Roy Jakobs, CEO of Philips, emphasized the potential of AI to optimize workflows and increase healthcare capacity.
The Indonesian government has welcomed the initiative, with Minister of Investment Rosan Roeslani highlighting its role in future economic development and healthcare sustainability.
