RBG.id – The Bogor City Regional General Hospital (RSUD)  development project has successfully entered the top 12 of the West Java Investment Challenge or WJIC 2026.

 

This achievement opens up opportunities for the Bogor City Government to obtain investment and seek alternative financing schemes for the development of regional hospitals.

 

WJIC is part of the West Java Investment Summit (WJIS) 2026 organized by the West Java DPMPTSP together with the Bank Indonesia Representative Office of West Java Province. The annual investment forum serves as a platform to bring together potential projects with investors, both domestic and international.

The Mayor of Bogor, Dedie Rachim, received the Site Visit Committee for the 12 Best Projects of WJIC 2026 directly at Bogor City Hall, Wednesday (2/9/2026).

 

Deputy Head of the Bank Indonesia Representative Office for West Java Province, Muslimin Anwar, appreciated Bogor City's achievement in being among the top 12 of the 40 best district/city projects in West Java.

 

"Through this Regional General Hospital project, Bogor City has succeeded in becoming one of the 12 best," he said. Muslimin said the WJIC 2026 curation process was more selective than in previous years.

In this process, the assessment involves relevant agencies, potential investors and banking parties. After being determined to be in the top 12, the team then carried out direct verification in a number of regions, including Bogor City. The site visit was conducted to assess the local government's commitment and readiness to support project implementation.

 

"After this site visit, the top 12 will present their results, and then the top five for West Java will be determined. Awards will be presented after the entire process is completed step by step," he said.

 

In addition to the site visit, the series of activities also included a roadshow and business matching. During the event, the team presented a potential investor who had previously expressed interest in the project. Muslimin hopes the WJIC series won't just be a competition. He believes what's more important is that the projects offered actually attract investors and can be realized to benefit the community.

 

"Why is this important to do together? Because it demonstrates the seriousness of this project and its continued progress. We sincerely hope this isn't just a competition, but more importantly, how this investment project will truly be realized and benefit the community, especially in Bogor City," he said.

 

Meanwhile, Bogor Mayor Dedie Rachim hopes the visit will further increase investment opportunities for the development of Bogor City Regional Hospital. Moreover, the hospital is considered to have continued to develop in recent years.

 

Currently, Bogor City Hospital has a capacity of 500 beds with a service coverage that not only targets Bogor City residents, but also patients from outside the area.

 

"Thank God, Bogor City Hospital has completely transformed over the past five years. Previously, it was perhaps considered an underrated hospital, but now its condition has significantly improved," he said.

 

According to Dedie, the inclusion of the RSUD project in the WJIC can also be a gateway to seeking creative financing or alternative financing outside the APBD.

 

"So, we hope that through alternative financing or creative financing, including the selection or competition model implemented by the West Java DPMPTSP, Bogor City will have the opportunity to model this project," he said.

 

Meanwhile, on that occasion, a Letter of Intent (LoI) was also signed as a form of initial commitment and mutual understanding to support the development of projects included in WJIC 2026. The LoI was signed by Bogor City Regional Hospital, Bank Syariah Indonesia and DPMPTSP of West Java Province.

 

Next, the 12 best projects will go through a presentation stage before determining the five best projects at the West Java level.
