REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, DENPASAR -- Bali Health Department (Dinkes) head Nyoman Gede Anom says Elon Musk's Starlink satellite internet service will be prioritized for auxiliary health centers in three areas.

Anom in Denpasar, Sunday (19/5/2024), said Elon Musk's launch of the development of an internet service made by SpaceX at the Sumerta Klod Maid Health Center on Sunday afternoon was only a pilot because there was still more to be needed.

“We in Bali have problems in the districts of Nusa Penida, Kintamani, Sukasada, and Petang. If it's just a launch here, it's in an auxiliary health center where there is no Internet service,” he said.

Out of 120 health centres and 509 auxiliary health centres on Dewata Island, Dinkes Bali has not fully recorded the number of people who need Starlink internet service. The logging process will take place immediately after the inauguration.
