Everything BIMC provides under medical check-ups, vaccination and travel health, with what each involves and where to find it across our locations.
A medical check-up is a routine, preventive screening — a way to check in on your health before symptoms appear. Because many serious conditions develop quietly, catching a change early is often what makes it easy to treat.
At BIMC a check-up combines a doctor’s consultation and physical examination with laboratory and imaging tests: blood count, blood sugar, cholesterol and lipid profile, liver, kidney and thyroid function, an ECG for your heart, and radiology such as a chest X-ray. Your doctor reviews the results with you and refers you to the right specialist wherever anything needs attention.
Check-ups range from a focused basic screen to a comprehensive assessment. Some blood tests need an 8—10 hour fast beforehand — plain water is fine, and you can take your regular medication.
BIMC Kuta is officially appointed as a panel hospital for visa medical examinations by Australia, New Zealand, the UK and Canada — and also serves Cook Islands and South Korea applications. With 3 experienced panel doctors and a daily schedule, results are fast, accurate and reliable.
A visa medical usually involves a physical examination and a chest X-ray, with the exact tests depending on your visa category and length of stay. If you haven’t lodged your application yet, we can perform an upfront medical and issue your health identifier (such as an NZER number).
Bring your passport, your COVID-19 vaccination certificate, any referral or immigration reference number, previous relevant medical reports, your glasses or contact lenses, and passport-size (3—4) photos.
BIMC offers routine immunisations and travel vaccinations for adults and children. If you’re preparing for a trip, it’s best to come in 4—6 weeks beforehand, as some vaccines take time to become fully effective and others are given as a series over several weeks.
Commonly recommended vaccines for travellers include Hepatitis A and B, typhoid, tetanus/diphtheria (with a booster every ten years), Japanese encephalitis, influenza and COVID-19. Your doctor will advise which you need based on your destination and history.
Bali is a rabies-endemic area, so rabies is a real consideration for both residents and longer-stay visitors — especially anyone around dogs, monkeys or cats. BIMC strongly recommends rabies vaccination.
A pre-exposure series (days 0, 7 and 21 or 28) gives you a protective head start and simplifies treatment if you’re ever bitten. After a bite or scratch from a suspect animal, post-exposure treatment — the vaccine and, when indicated, immunoglobulin — should begin as soon as possible.
A pre-travel consultation tailors advice to your specific trip. Your doctor reviews your itinerary, health and vaccination history and builds a plan — which vaccines to have, whether you need malaria prophylaxis, and how to avoid the food-, water- and insect-borne illnesses common in the tropics.
It’s also the moment to sort a travel kit and any prescriptions, and to talk through managing existing conditions while you’re away.
