JAKARTA

Before COVID-19 swept into Indonesia nearly two years ago, few would have imagined that the 10-hectare Athletes Village compound in Kemayoran, Central Jakarta, would become one of the city’s most prominent healthcare facilities.

After housing athletes for the 2018 Asian Games and Asian Para Games, the 10 apartment towers remained mostly empty, waiting for the next big event to attract sports professionals from around the world.

With a capacity exceeding the International Olympic Committee’s standard of housing for 14,000 athletes, the facility was expected to bolster Indonesia’s efforts to host the Olympic Games.
