For Referring Physicians

Stem Cell Referral Pathway – Bali

A medically led cross-border referral pathway for selected orthopaedic degenerative and neurological cases where
non-surgical intervention is being considered. Designed for clinics in Dubai, Hong Kong, and Singapore referring
patients for triage, treatment planning, and short-stay rehabilitation in Bali.

Clinical intent: primary indication is disease-focused regenerative care after specialist review.
Anti-aging or aesthetics are secondary and are not a primary treatment indication.

Who this page is for

  • Licensed physicians and clinic teams evaluating referral options for non-surgical regenerative care.
  • Orthopaedic, sports medicine, pain medicine, rehabilitation, and neurology referrers.
  • Cross-border care coordinators supporting patient selection and treatment logistics.

This page is intended for healthcare professionals. Final candidacy and treatment decisions are made by the treating
medical team in Indonesia under applicable regulations and clinical governance.

Referral indications and triage focus

Orthopaedics iconOrthopaedic degenerative indications

  • Knee and hip osteoarthritis (selected stages where surgery is not first choice).
  • Degenerative tendon and soft-tissue conditions with persistent functional impairment.
  • Degenerative spine-related pain patterns after conservative care review.
  • Post-injury chronic joint degeneration with failed first-line conservative treatment.

Neurology iconNeurology-related indications (selected)

  • Chronic neuropathic symptom clusters after standard care optimization.
  • Stable neuro-rehab candidates requiring multidisciplinary reassessment.
  • Cases where functional goals and risk profile support regenerative review.

Red flag iconHigh-priority exclusion/red-flag screen

  • Active malignancy under treatment, uncontrolled infection, or severe systemic instability.
  • Urgent surgical indications, progressive neurological deficits, or cauda equina red flags.
  • Uncontrolled coagulopathy or medical contraindications identified by specialist review.

DomainWhat to provideWhy it matters
Clinical diagnosisWorking diagnosis, severity, duration, and current functional limitations.Supports indication fit and realistic outcome planning.
Prior treatment historyConservative care attempted (medication, PT, injections, rehab) and response quality.Clarifies non-surgical treatment context before referral.
Imaging and investigationsRecent imaging reports and key laboratory findings relevant to risk screening.Reduces repeat workup and accelerates triage decisions.
Risk and safety profileComorbidities, current medications, anticoagulation status, allergy profile.Improves treatment safety planning and peri-procedural decisions.
Patient goalsPrimary functional goals (pain, mobility, ADLs, return-to-work/sport expectations).Aligns intervention plan with measurable, patient-specific outcomes.

Clinical governance and partner pathway

Indonesia has increasingly structured regenerative medicine pathways under national regulation. This referral journey
is coordinated with established local partners, including collaboration with Murni Teguh Hospital in Bali, conveniently located close to Ngurah Rai International Airport (view on map), for international patient coordination and specialist review.

Where indicated and permitted under applicable Indonesian frameworks, approved single-line MSC-based protocols may
be considered by the treating team. Treatment is never guaranteed and remains indication-driven, risk-adjusted, and
physician-supervised.

Typical 5-day international patient journey

  1. Day 1 – Arrival and in-country assessment: airport transfer, in-person specialist consultation,
    final eligibility confirmation, and treatment planning.
  2. Day 2 – Procedure day: indication-specific intervention at Murni Teguh Hospital, Bali, located close to the international airport (map).
  3. Day 3 – Monitoring and early rehabilitation: structured post-procedure monitoring and progress
    review; onward recovery logistics.
  4. Day 4 – Functional rehab: recovery support, education, and rehabilitation progression at Mirage
    Hotel and Thalasso sea-water spa pathway where clinically suitable.
  5. Day 5 – Discharge and continuity: travel-fit assessment, handover pack for referring physician,
    and remote follow-up schedule.

FAQ for referring physicians

What is Murni Teguh Hospital’s role in this pathway?

Murni Teguh Hospital in Bali is the clinical facility partner and service location for this referral pathway. Official hospital website: https://www.rsmurniteguh.com/id/HospitalGroup/murni-teguh-tuban-bali. Located near the international airport, it provides the hospital setting for specialist review, treatment delivery, and post-procedure monitoring. Treatment eligibility and protocols are determined by the treating medical team under prevailing regulatory and clinical governance requirements.

What is the source of the stem cells?

The stem cells used in this pathway are Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells (UCMSCs) manufactured by Regenic, a subsidiary of Kalbe Farma and one of Indonesia’s largest pharmaceutical groups. Official Regenic website: https://www.regenic.co.id/en.

The facility uses single-line MSC protocols, meaning cells are derived from a single donor source and expanded under controlled conditions. This reduces batch variability and helps lower immunological risk compared with pooled multi-donor products, improving product consistency and traceability.

Is anti-aging a valid primary referral indication?

No. Primary referral intent should be a clinically defined medical condition where regenerative intervention is
being considered after standard evaluation. Anti-aging or aesthetics are secondary and not the primary reason
for treatment selection.

What triage materials should I send first?

Include diagnosis summary, prior treatment attempts and outcomes, relevant imaging/labs, medication list, risk
profile, and clear functional goals. This enables faster multidisciplinary suitability review.

How is continuity with the referring physician managed?

Referring clinics receive triage feedback, treatment summary, discharge recommendations, and follow-up guidance.
The local treating team and referring physician coordinate ongoing care decisions after return.
