Financial Support Worth Approximately 9.7 Billion Won
Contributing to National Healthcare Competitiveness
Through Expansion of Medical Infrastructure
KB Bank Indonesia (KBI), a subsidiary of KB Kookmin Bank, announced on December 30 that it has entered into a strategic financial partnership with PT KAI Medika Indonesia (KAIMI) to support the sustainable growth of Indonesia's healthcare service sector.
Through this agreement, KBI will provide financial support totaling up to 1.1 trillion rupiah (approximately 9.7 billion won). The funds will be used to upgrade medical infrastructure, including investments in medical equipment and business expansion at Brawijaya Hospital Tangerang.
KAIMI is a subsidiary of Brawijaya Healthcare Group, which operates a network of hospitals and clinics in Jakarta, Depok, and Tangerang. Brawijaya Hospital Tangerang is a major medical facility well known for its premium services in maternal and child healthcare and minimally invasive surgery. Notably, by participating in BPJS Kesehatan (the Social Security Agency for Health Insurance), it has established a balanced service model between public and premium healthcare.
With this agreement, the two companies plan to gradually expand their cooperation beyond financial support to include a variety of financial services, such as cash management services for hospital operating funds, payroll services for employees, priority banking services for executives and medical staff, and mortgage products.
Lily Herawati, President Director of KAIMI, stated, "This agreement marks an important turning point that will elevate our hospital infrastructure and service capabilities. With the financial support from KBI, we will continuously improve the quality of our medical services and provide high-quality healthcare to more people in Indonesia."
Kunaldi Dharma Lie, President Director of KBI, said, "The healthcare sector is a strategic industry with significant long-term growth potential and social impact. Through this partnership, we expect not only to strengthen KBI's productive financial portfolio but also to help enhance Indonesia's national healthcare competitiveness. Moving forward, we will continue to expand strategic cooperation with key industries based on thorough risk management and qualitative growth."
