What's it like to retire in Bali - Health Care

As a Canadian Bali resident for the past 23 I’m often asked, “what's it like to retire in Bali”. 
“what's it like to retire in Bali”

Although I am only semiretired, approximately 25% of the villas that I manage are occupied by full-time or part-time retirees from around the world. So, I understand their needs and their views. 
They come from everywhere, primarily of course from Australia, only 2 1/2 hours away followed by Dutch, Canadian, English, & French. There are also a few from Asian countries such as Korea. 

What is Healthcare like in Bali? 

The most frequent question I am asked is “what is the healthcare like in Bali”.

The answer is the quality of healthcare is not as high as countries such as Australia and my home country of Canada yet.

I say yet because there have been leaps and bounds in improvements in healthcare and the quality of hospitals in Bali in the 23 years I've lived here.
Switzerland 2020
Cost of Healthcare 50% – 70% Less. 

When I visited Countries such as New Zealand, Australia and Canada recently I found that they have free healthcare, but it may take you three months to get an operation. 

Everyone complains. I'm the type that when I have a healthcare issue I want to handle it immediately. 

You will be healthier if you live in Bali. 
Let's start with the basics. First, you will be a lot healthier in Bali that you will be in most places in the world right now. 


Especially if you're in Australia which has seen the worst brushfires in modern history. 

In just the last few weeks both Sydney and Melbourne have been among the worst air quality in the world,

 Choking point: how Australia's bushfires have left its citizens struggling for air 

Another fear that Australians will have is a fear of a predisposition to developing melanoma. 
It requires only a small amount of time in the harsh Australian sunshine to develop skin cancer. 

Australia again leads the world in deadly skin cancers
And even when the bushfires are gone Australians must face the fact that each year they are having record temperatures, making it more unhabitable each year. 

In other Cities such as Hong Kong, Shanghai, Beijing, Jakarta, or many other Asian cities They are beginning to find their air quality is dangerous to their families. They may endure as much as 5 to 10 years shorter lives. 
Jakarta some of the worst pollution in the world
Bali’s air quality is among the best in the world: 

In the meantime, you will find that Bali’s air quality is among the best in the world especially on the East Coast in residential areas on or close to the beachs where I work and live. 


The proof is in the pudding: 

Here are some pictures I took this morning 2020 January 18 from our beachfront resort at Bali Paradise Beach Estates just a few minutes north of the  major tourist areas of Sanur & Ubud.
Sunrise over Lembongan13 km away

I took them because the air was so clear that visibility with no clouds was perfect.

I could easily see Mount Agung which is 50 km away and see Mount Rinjani on the Island of Lombok 140 km away .
Mount Rinjani on the Island of Lombok 140 km away 

Bali Paradise Beach Estate Four-bedroom five-bathroom private 14 m swimming pool only 100 m from the beach only who hundred and $488,000
Why is the air quality so good here? 

Simple, because the trade winds generally blow the breezes off the ocean and these breezes are generated thousands of kilometers away in places like Antarctica or the remote eastern islands of Papua New Guinea where there is virtually no industrial pollution. 
There have been many articles written on the fact that if you live close to the ocean you will live healthier and therefore live longer. 

The Cost of pharmaceuticals a fraction of Western prices. 

Whenever we travel as we just recently did to Switzerland I make sure that we stock up on all the basic medications such as Ibuprofen, Telfast + for allergies and even the basics such as cough drops and Fishermen's because they are generally 50 to 70% less expensive in Bali.

On many trips around the world recently I found that I need a prescription for simple things such as even ibuprofen.

I don't have the time or the patience to be running around getting a Dr. certificate and pay a couple hundred dollars to buy a simple Prescription that is available over the counter in Bali.

In fact, most drugs such as medications for diabetes etc. are available over the counter. 

If you are too lazy to go purchase them yourself you may simply have your housekeeper, who only cost $200 a month go pick them up on her motorcycle for you. No prescription needed.


Retirees health issues substantially less expensive to resolve:

Now let’s talk about other health issues that baby boomers who are planning to retire may have.

One common health problem these days, especially if you're from Australia is skin damage from the sun.

Australia has some of the strongest U.V. rays in the world. 

I know a lot about this because unfortunately, I was a skier, a sun worshiper living in Hawaii for 18 years and then a sailor for five years here in Bali. 


I only learned about sunscreen in the last 30 years. 

The Most dangerous sun I've ever seen so far in the world was while sailing 10 days across the northern part of Australia. My eyes got sunburned. Some of the worst pain I have ever endured, and that's with sunglasses, a large big brim sailors’ hat and sunscreen.

Many retirees get spots on their faces and arms which must be frozen off or cut off.

This can be very time-consuming and again take up to 3 to 6 months to obtain an appointment with a Dr. in places such as Canada and Australia where they have free healthcare.

Here we simply go to a doctor and spend approximately $50-$70 and have it cut or frozen off.

Another health issue that is prominent amongst retirees these days is Cataracts which slowly but surely diminishes your eyesight to the point where you must do something about it. I acted when I finally couldn't see the ball being served on the other side of the tennis court.



It's estimated upwards of 70% of all those baby boomers in their 60s and 70s will eventually need to have cataract surgery.

In the West again it may take a long time to get an appointment for surgery. If you want it done fast you may have to pay out $10,000 to $15,000 for the best lenses.

For items such as this you can have it done in Bali for as little as $1400.

Bali’s Improving Health Care:

Healthcare is improving rapidly in Bali as higher trained doctors are coming out of the recent medical schools.

Many hospitals are starting to specialize in Expatriate healthcare specializing in Illnesses such as skin cancer, and cataract surgery.

If you don't want to take a chance on getting treatment in Bali you can simply hop on a plane and in 2 1/2 hours you can be in Australia, Singapore or my favourite recently Malaysia.

International Medical insurance is available for retirees starting as low as $2,500 per year including Medi Vac which means they can evacuate to you to Australia, Sydney Singapore or KL for serious Illnesses or surgeries.

G. Ps Cost 70% Less:

One of the beautiful things about Bali is that you can go to a local doctor here and spend as little as $50 for a checkup.

Pet scans that cost you $1,500 to $2,000 Dollars in Singapore or Australia will cost you as little as $600.

Healthier Food:

I'll repeat myself you will be healthier in Bali because you will begin to eat the large variety of ever-present fresh fruits and vegetables with little pesticides or organic vegetables and fruits available at a fraction of the Western prices.

Having just returned from Switzerland I can tell you that shopping here for fresh foods will cost you approximately 70% less than Switzerland which is probably about the same discount from places such as Singapore, China, Sydney, Melbourne and Perth.

Less Stress, Fewer Heart Attacks.

The largest cause of heart attacks for retirees is stress from a high cost of living and a high cost of housing.



That stress will be diminished substantially as soon as you move to Bali where you can purchase a two-bedroom, two-bathroom villa with private swimming pool for as little as $220,000 with 80 years of leases.



You can forget about the stress of daily housekeeping, moving furniture and even going shopping as a housekeeper can be had for as little as $200 per month who will do everything with you for you.




And finally, if you do have a rare stressful day simply pick up the phone and call a professional Female or man Masseuse to come to your villa and give you beautiful relaxing stress-reducing Bali massage for only seven dollars per hour.


Many of the things I've discussed above are why I believe Bali is destined to be on of the largest retirement destinations in the world for the 25% of the world's population that are retiring now who are part of the baby-boom generation, born between 1944 to 1965.


Bali has made it very easy for Baby Boomers to retire. If you're or over 55 we can arrange for a very quick and inexpensive Retirement visa for five years and then you just simply fly out of the country every five years to renew it. My mother had one and it worked perfectly.
