Indonesia is building a hospital that will be run in partnership with U.S.-based Mayo Clinic as part of a bid to recoup $7 billion in outbound medical tourism.

President Joko Widodo seeks to bring in wealthy Indonesians and foreign visitors to the Bali International Hospital, which will start operating in mid-2023, he said at the groundbreaking event on Monday. The facility is being built in the Sanur area known for its white sand beaches.
