Starlink, a satellite internet service from SpaceX, was introduced by Elon Musk and Indonesian Health Minister Budi Gunadi Sadikin for the country’s healthcare industry.
With over 270 million residents and three distinct time zones, the service intends to provide access to isolated areas of the archipelago. Musk predicted that millions of people in remote areas of the nation would be able to access the internet because of Starlink’s availability.

Two on Bali and one on the isolated island of Aru in Maluku were the three Indonesian health centers where Starlink was introduced. High internet connections have made it possible to input data in real-time to address health issues like stunting and malnutrition, as seen in a video presentation shown at the launch. Putting internet connectivity and its life-saving qualities front and center, Musk is concentrating on Starlink.
To expand the electric vehicle (EV) industry by utilizing the abundant nickel resources in the nation, the Indonesian government has been attempting to entice Tesla to establish manufacturing facilities for its product.
On Monday, Musk is expected to meet with President Joko Widodo of Indonesia and give a speech at the World Water Forum on the island. Starlink is now commercially available, but the government will prioritize using its services in remote and impoverished areas, according to Communications Minister Budi Arie Setiadi.
