The increasing of population as the effect of industrialization, at the early of 20th century, not only made a changes to the economy and politics but also to the health issues. Various diseases began to infect people in this area. Those diseases were caused by climate, environment and unhealthy lifestyle. In overcoming the problem, in 1906, the private plantation initiated the establishment of a research institution about tropical diseases in Medan. The research institution was called as Medan Pathological Laboratory. During its development, it was able to solve the problem regarding to the diseases which infected people in the plantation belt such as cholera, dysentery, beriberi, and malaria. The doctors and experts discovered the correlation between the cause of diseases and lifestyle in plantations and environmental conditions in East Sumatera. In the period of development, this colonial health institution had decreased the number of mortality and overcome various epidemics and diseases in East Sumatera.
