Jakarta (ANTARA News) - Health Minister Endang Rahayu Sedyaningsih officially inaugurated a new building housing a world-class private health service unit at the Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital (RSCM) complex here Friday.

The new unit was named RSCM Kencana Integrated Service Unit.

"The management must make improvements in order to deliver effective and efficient services," said the minister when inaugurating the four-story building.

Improved health services in the country were expected to attract patients who had so far been seeking medical treatment abroad, she said.

"According to Singapore`s National Health Group survey, around 50 percent of foreign patients seeking medical services in Singapore, are Indonesians, or roughly 12,000 people annually," the minister said.

RSCM President Director Akmal Taher said the state-owned general hospital`s private services were targeting those so far seeking medical services abroad.

The new unit offers a number of health service clusters, among other things general medical checkups, in-vitro fertilization, tumor treatment, integrated breast clinic, aesthetic service, rehabilitation service, dental service, eye care center, and neuroscience.

"Services in all clusters are given in integrated ways by teams, and there is no departmental service," he said.

Several RSCM units, such as the Cardiology Unit, Perinatal Unit, and Radiotherapy Unit, have acquired ISO 9001 Certificates.
