History

The hospital's history began in 1925.[1][2]

1925 – 1942 (Netherlands East Indies)

In 1919 N.F. Liem, M.D. proposed to replace and incorporate the City Hospital ("Stadverband Ziekenhuis") in Tawang with Assistant City Hospital ("Hulp Stadverband Ziekenhuis") in Alun - alun Semarang. The plan was realized by building a larger hospital in Semarang. Construction began in 1920 and was completed five years later. On 9 September 1925 the "Centrale Burgerlijke Ziekeninrichting" (CBZ) opened.

1942 – 1945 (Japanese Occupation)

During the Japanese occupation, Dutch physicians were taken prisoner. To fill the leadership void the hospital selected Dr. Notokuworo act as Director. He was soon replaced by Dr. Buntaran Martoatmodjo until 1945. Thereafter the hospital was led by the Indonesian people. Japanese government renamed it PURUSARA CBZ, which stands for "Center for the People's Hospital" (Japanese: "Chuo Simin Byoing").

1945 – 1950 (Revolution)

Japan was defeated by the Allies, and at the same time, Indonesia proclaimed its independence. Fighting erupted over five days in Semarang. Dr. M. Kariadi along with eight other hospital employees died during this battle. Owing to that, each year the battle is commemorated in the hospital.

1950 - (Independence)

After independence, the hospital was renamed General Hospital Center Semarang, and in 14 April 1964 it was renamed Dr. Kariadi Hospital (Minister of Health No. SK.. 21215/Kab/1964).
