Good to know
Good to Know
- 112 is the easiest number to remember and works even with a locked phone or no credit — it will route you to the right service (police, fire, or medical).
- In a place like Ubud, response times for ambulances can be slow due to winding roads and traffic; for non-critical situations it's often faster to get to a hospital yourself via taxi or Grab.
- Save the Tourist Police contact and your embassy/consulate number in your phone in addition to 112 — they're specifically set up to help foreigners with lost passports, theft, or scam issues.
- Most emergency operators outside big tourist hubs may not speak fluent English; having a translation app or asking a local/hotel staff to call on your behalf can speed things up.
- Download InfoBMKG before you need it — Bali's volcanic and seismic activity means real-time official alerts are genuinely useful, not just theoretical.
- Ubud's hospitals (BIMC Ubud, Kenak Medika, Ari Canti) are all designed to reduce the need to travel for common injuries and illnesses, but for major trauma, complex surgery, ICU-level care, or stroke/cardiac emergencies, patients are typically stabilized locally then transferred to larger South Bali facilities (BIMC Kuta/Nusa Dua, Siloam Denpasar, or the public referral hospital RSUP Prof. Dr. I.G.N.G. Ngoerah in Denpasar).
- Kasih Ibu Hospital's Saba branch is sometimes recommended for Ubud travelers, but it is actually located in Gianyar, roughly 30 minutes away by motorbike toward Sanur — not a true 'in-Ubud' option for a genuine emergency.
- Call ahead if possible before arriving with a non-critical issue; this lets the hospital mobilize the right specialist and can reduce wait times.
- Private hospitals in Bali often require an upfront deposit (sometimes in USD) before treatment unless you have an insurance agreement directly with the facility — comprehensive travel/health insurance is strongly recommended.
- The national emergency/ambulance numbers (112 for general emergencies, 118/119 for ambulance) can be used to request dispatch or verify which facility to head to before you go.
Emergency Numbers

Ambulance Medical
- Number
- 118 or 119
- Notes
- Ambulance and medical emergency dispatch. Response times can vary significantly outside major cities like Denpasar, and Ubud's rural/hillside roads can slow arrival; many residents find it faster to use a taxi, Grab, or private transport to the nearest hospital rather than waiting.

Healthcare
- Overview
- Ubud has several private international-standard clinics and one public hospital serving the region. Private clinics cater primarily to expats and tourists with English-speaking staff and modern equipment, while public options are government-subsidized but may have longer wait times.
- Insurance
- Travel insurance highly recommended. Foreign nationals may qualify for BPJS Kesehatan (national health insurance) if meeting residency requirements, but eligibility is complex and should be verified in advance.
- Cost Notes
- Private clinics charge significantly more than public hospitals. Consultation fees at international clinics typically require additional payment for tests and procedures beyond the initial visit. BIMC consultation may require ~700,000 IDR for mandatory doctor consultation before tests.
