Informa Markets, through PT. Pamerindo Indonesia, is launching WHX Jakarta 2027, a healthcare event that will bring together the healthcare ecosystem under the theme “Connecting Healthcare, Advancing Indonesia.” The three-day event will take place from 31 March to 2 April 2027 at the Indonesia Convention Exhibition in BSD City, Jakarta.

A platform for Indonesia's healthcare sector

According to the announcement, WHX Jakarta 2027 is positioned around Indonesia's healthcare sector, which serves over 280 million people across the archipelago. The event is intended to unite innovators, investors and industry leaders working in healthcare, pharma, medical technology and wellness.

It builds on previous WHX editions in Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur, which the organiser says have attracted significant numbers of industry professionals annually. Informa Markets describes WHX Jakarta 2027 as poised to become the region's most comprehensive healthcare platform.

Rose Chitanuwat, Regional Portfolio Director – ASEAN at Informa Markets, said: "We are thrilled to bring WHX to Jakarta at such a transformative time for Indonesia's healthcare sector. With a population of over 280 million people and a rapidly modernising healthcare infrastructure, Indonesia represents one of the most dynamic healthcare markets in Southeast Asia. WHX Jakarta 2027 will serve as the catalyst for collaboration, innovation, and growth, connecting local and international stakeholders who are committed to advancing healthcare access and quality across the archipelago. This launch edition builds on our proven success in Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur, and we're confident that Jakarta will become a cornerstone event for the Indonesia's healthcare community."
