Bali Expat Health Care
Singapore the ‘go to’ hospital destination for Bali expats
Singapore is the ‘go to’ place for Bali expats, when they have a medical emergency. Locally we have a couple of good clinics, SOS International and BIMC, and Sanglah hospital in Denpasar for emergency surgery. If you need surgery and you have the choice, get on a plane to Singapore.

Wet season in Bali means hot humid weather, flooded streets and puddles. Ideal conditions for mosquitoes (nyamuk) to breed and spread disease.

Getting my back checked out in Seminyak Bali
Last night my neighbor James, frm Sydbey came over. James is a chiropractor and I was telling him about my tweaked lower back from a year and a half ago. I laid face down on my bed and James did some tests, getting me to strain in various directions with my legs.

Avoiding fungal infections and parasites in Bali
Living in a tropical climate, exposes you to new medical challenges. Bacteria grow fast and there are a range of diseases and afflications westerners are not familiar with. Recently I met 2 older westerners who have fungal / parasitical problems (and we’re not talking about their girlfriends!).

Bali Expat Forum: Information from people who live in Bali
Living on Bali is a dream for many people, but what is it really like for a foreigner? As Bruce Lee would say ‘if you want to learn how to throw punches, ask a man who does it for a living’ (a boxer).

Working in Bali
Many people dream of moving to Bali and finding a job. Legally and realistically its not hard. You can get hold of any type of visa you like simply by hiring an immigration consultant and the government does not come sniffing around individuals for tax purposes. The main problem for new arrivals is what do you do. I get emails from people on a regular basis who ask me, ‘do you know how I can make money?’, ‘what is your suggestion for me?’ My suggestion is that you figure out how to make money at home, then when you come to Bali you will know what direction to go in. The expat newspaper, The Bali Advertiser, carries ads offering jobs and requesting jobs. I see the same requests month after month.

When I read that Tetanus had killed at least 18 earthquake survivors in Yogyakarta according to WHO and that more than 50 known cases of the infection spread through bacteria, I thought I had better get out my yellow book and check when I was last vaccinated.
