Friday, February 6, Nusa Medica proudly took part in a strategic medical evacuation simulation held in collaboration with BASARNAS Bali and SGI Air Bali, as part of a joint emergency preparedness exercise initiated by Finns Beach Club.
The simulation focused on a non-landing helicopter medical evacuation, a highly advanced rescue technique used in critical situations where helicopters are unable to land due to terrain, crowd density, or time-sensitive emergencies. The scenario took place directly off the beachfront area of Finns Beach Club, a location widely known for hosting international visitors from Australia, France, Russia, and other countries.
This collaborative exercise demonstrated not only technical precision, but also the importance of seamless coordination between air rescue units, national search and rescue authorities, and professional medical providers.
For this high-risk simulation, Nusa Medica Clinic Group deployed its most experienced medical evacuation team, consisting of:
Ns. Bima Sakti, Emergency Nurse
Ns. Yesia, Emergency Nurse
Dr. Rashif, Medical Doctor with emergency response experience
In addition, Nusa Medica’s Advanced Ambulance unit was fully mobilized as part of the operation, ensuring continuity of care from air evacuation to ground-based medical transport.
The medical team performed patient stabilization procedures, emergency assessments, and evacuation coordination while working alongside BASARNAS rescue personnel and the SGI Air Bali helicopter crew. The simulation emphasized real-world conditions, including crowd presence, beach terrain, and time-critical decision-making.
Medical evacuation scenarios, especially those involving helicopters without landing, require exceptional preparation, experience, and trust between all involved parties. This simulation served as a powerful demonstration of Bali medical evacuation readiness at an international standard.
According to Ridho Ananda, Manager of the Nusa Medica Call Center:
“This collaboration proves the level of trust and confidence from both domestic and international partners. Nusa Medica is currently the only clinic in Bali with extraordinary readiness and operational capability to support complex medical evacuation scenarios in emergency situations, when it truly matters.”
The event reinforced Nusa Medica’s reputation as the best clinic in Bali for emergency response, medical evacuation coordination, and integrated care for both tourists and local communities.
Beach clubs and coastal destinations like Finns Beach Club attract thousands of international visitors daily. In the event of serious medical emergencies — such as trauma, drowning incidents, or sudden cardiac events — rapid medical evacuation can be life-saving.
By participating in this joint simulation, Nusa Medica reaffirmed its commitment to safeguarding Bali’s reputation as a safe and well-prepared global tourism destination.
With its experienced medical teams, advanced ambulance fleet, and strong coordination with air rescue providers, Nusa Medica continues to set a benchmark for bali medical evacuation services.(*)
