KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 7 (Bernama) -- Royal Philips, a global leader in health technology, and Siloam Hospitals Group, Indonesia’s private healthcare provider, have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to advance artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities and development in the healthcare sector in Indonesia.

The strategic collaboration, in partnership with the Universitas Pelita Harapan (UPH) Medical Sciences Group, will focus on capacity building, knowledge sharing, and implementing advanced AI solutions.

“At Philips, we believe that informatics and AI will help transform healthcare by optimising workflows, improving efficiency and increasing capacity, making healthcare more accessible and delivering better care for more people.

“We are excited to collaborate with Siloam Hospitals and Universitas Pelita Harapan to drive this transformation and fully support the Indonesian government’s vision of improving healthcare through digital innovation,” said Royal Philips Chief Executive Officer, Roy Jakobs in a statement.

Meanwhile, Siloam Hospitals Group Deputy President Director, Caroline Riady said: “This partnership with Philips, Siloam Hospitals and Universitas Pelita Harapan is a significant milestone in our journey to bring advanced healthcare technologies to Indonesia.

“By investing in AI capability and sharing global expertise, we are helping to build a smarter, more efficient healthcare system that will benefit millions of Indonesians and support the national healthcare agenda.”

Key areas of focus in the partnership include AI-driven clinical care; global knowledge sharing with Philips; digital health transformation; supporting the Indonesian government’s healthcare goals; and expertise sharing for driving environmental, social and governance (ESG) in healthcare.

Leveraging Philips’ AI innovations, the collaboration will help transform clinical care and digital health, enhance healthcare delivery and make the healthcare infrastructure more sustainable, with the goal of delivering better care for more people in Indonesia.

In addition, this partnership aligns with the Indonesian government’s healthcare strategy to improve healthcare accessibility, enhance clinical outcomes, and embrace digital transformation.
