Doing business in Indonesia in the healthcare sector is not an easy task.  It is a complex, regulatory environment. However the rise in public awareness around health and the government’s desire to improve health outcomes means there have been some policy changes that are making business take a closer look.

In this episode we’re going to learn how an Australian company has ⁠secured ⁠a billion dollar deal by working with ⁠government ⁠policy priorities to deliver more and better healthcare to tens of millions of people.

The CEO of Aspen Medical, Glenn Keys, talks to us about how building relationships, understanding the policy landscape and simply but consistently dealing with problems led to the agreement to build hospitals and medical clinics.

“I think in Indonesia, people look at it and go, oh, I’ve got no idea. It’s a different environment, rather than sitting down and saying, all right, I’m going to focus on the couple of things that are critical. I’m going to identify what are the hoops I need to get through to get there. And then if you need to pivot and adapt as you learn things and they learn too, then you do that. But that’s doing business wherever you are in the world.”
