Concerned about your children’s safety and health in Bali? You don’t need to worry. International standard medical services are available in major tourist areas. Many large hotels even have their own clinics or can help you find a decent doctor. In Kuta, the Bali International Medical Center has a full staff of well-trained medical personnel, including Western nurse practitioners, and an excellent laboratory. Contact them at Jalan Bypass Ngurah Rai 100X, Telephone 761263. In Denpasar, Dr. Rubiana is a wonderful young pediatrician who speaks very good English, makes house calls, and has an amazing way of relating to her young patients. Contact her at Jalan Raya Puputan No. 202, Renon, Denpasar, Telephone 237745. In Sanur, Dr. A.A.M. Djelantik has, for decades, been the family doctor of choice for the resident expatriate community. His office hours are 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday, on Jalan Hayam Wuruk, right next door to the United States Consulate. Bali’s major hospitals are also located in Denpasar. Recommended are Rumah Sakit Kasih Ibu, at Jalan Teuku Umar 120, Telephone 223036, and Rumah Sakit Sanglah at Jalan P. Diponegoro, Telephone 227911. To avoid health problems, follow the same sensible precautions that Balinese parents do. Drink only bottled water – and lots of it. It is available in hotels, restaurants and convenience stores across the island. Protect children’s delicate skin from the tropical sun with hats and sunscreen, which you can easily find in stores near the beach. Watch children for signs of dehydration, and carry bottled water and juice boxes with you. And don’t worry too much! Bali is safe, clean and modern and serious health problems are rare. There’s no need to bring a heavy suitcase of children’s equipment to Bali. For babies, a light baby carrier that you can wear while walking is a must to pack, as is a small, collapsible stroller for older children. Mosquito repellant that is marked safe for children is also a useful item to have on hand. Virtually everything else you need – as well as a delightful assortment of handcrafted toys and clothes you and your children are sure to covet -- is available here at reasonable prices. For imported brands of baby foods, diapers, long-life milk packaged in cardboard boxes, and children’s toiletries, check out the selection at Hero Supermarket, Jalan Teuku Umar 38 in Denpasar, Alas Arum, Jalan Raya Seminyak in Kuta, and Gelael Supermarket, Jalan Raya Kuta in Kuta. For a huge selection of children’s goods – everything from baby bottles to toys to colorful, tropical print clothes – head to Matahari Department Store on Jalan Dewi Sartika in Denpasar. Wondering what to do with your children on the long flight to Bali? Take some tips from seasoned travellers on how to make the trip with your tots more pleasurable. First, if you can, book a seat on an Asian carrier. Thai International Airlines, Japan Airlines, Singapore Air and Cathay Pacific all fly to Bali, and all are reliable, first-class airlines renowned for gracious, dependable service. Their Asian personnel and passengers are far more likely to smile instead of cringe if your child becomes fussy and bored. No matter who you fly, travel prepared, with diapers, wipes for washing hands and faces, a towel, extra water, and a bottle or some lollipops to make the pressure changes on takeoff and landing easier on young ears. Encourage your kids to drink lots of water or juice, as airplane air is notoriously dehydrating. It’s also a good idea to bring an assortment of small toys and games – preferably new ones that will attract your child’s interest. Call the airline ahead of time and request a bulkhead seat – those in the first row – which offer extra legroom and a space for children to play. You can also request special meals, and some airlines even have baby foods, child seats or bassinets available. All airlines should allow you to bring a stroller right up to the door of the plane, where the aircraft personnel will check it and return it to you upon landing – very helpful for weary parents if the lines at Immigration are long.
