  • FDC Dental Clinic aims to expand its reach by establishing 100 clinics across Indonesia by the end of 2026, prioritizing areas with limited dental healthcare facilities, particularly outside Java.
  • The expansion strategy includes opening new branches in underserved regions like Sukabumi, Serang, Lampung, and Padang, driven by insights from social activities and a desire to bring services closer to communities.
  • Beyond healthcare access, FDC is also involved in social responsibility programs in arts and culture, supporting educational facilities, and enhancing its digital services through an app that has garnered over 1.5 million downloads.

FDC Dental Clinic is aggressively expanding its footprint, with a strategic goal to operate 100 clinics by the end of 2026. This ambitious growth plan is specifically targeting regions across Indonesia that currently face a scarcity of dental healthcare services, with a notable emphasis on areas beyond the island of Java.

CEO and Founder Ita Lestari highlighted that this expansion is a core part of the company's mission to make healthcare services more accessible to the public. This includes leveraging various approaches, such as community engagement through sports events like the Mother of Padel tournament, which FDC collaborated on with Perserasi. Currently, FDC operates approximately 70 clinics, and the target of 100 branches by 2026 signifies a significant increase in its service network.

The expansion is not confined to major urban centers; FDC is actively seeking out areas with a demonstrable need for dental care. Sukabumi, for instance, recently welcomed a new FDC branch, a decision spurred by the foundation's social outreach activities in the Ciptagelar area. Observing the unmet dental health needs there prompted the company to bring its services closer to the community.

In parallel with its service expansion, FDC Foundation is actively engaged in social responsibility initiatives. Director of Social Impact Shofia Naafi detailed efforts in supporting arts and culture, including providing aid for the renovation of learning facilities at SMK Negeri 1 Kasihan in Yogyakarta. This support aims to provide students with better resources to foster their creativity and contribute to the preservation of local arts and culture.

Furthermore, FDC continues to innovate in the digital realm, with its dedicated application achieving over 1.5 million downloads. This platform empowers patients with features for booking appointments, selecting dentists, accessing service information, and obtaining cost estimations prior to treatment, thereby enhancing operational efficiency and reducing wait times.
