Abstract

Malaria prevention is basically one of the parts that is inseparable from the efforts of the colonial government to form a Jawatan / Rakyat Kesehatan Service in 1925. In addition there are also efforts to establish an initial health service through an army hospital. This health service is basically a continuation of the Army Health Service (Militair Geneeskundige Dienst) in 1808 which was established during the administration of Governor General H.W. Daendels. At that time there were three large Army Hospitals: in Batavia (Jakarta), Semarang and Surabaya. Civil health efforts began in 1809, and the Government Regulation on Civil Health Services was issued in 1820. In 1827 the two departments were combined and only in 1911 was there a real separation between the two departments (Health Promotion Team, 2006: 6). Indonesian malaria in the Dutch colonial era. Malaria is endemic in Indonesia due to colonial government policies and environmental factors and human behavior. This epidemic then spreads to various blood through human activities and the environment. The government and indigenous people are trying to eradicate the outbreak. They did the effort but there was discrimination and difference in treatment. This study discusses the case of Indonesian malaria in the Dutch colonial era.
