History and etymology

The Centrale Burgerlijke Ziekeninrichting (CBZ) hospital and Medical Laboratory

In 1851, the colonial Dutch East Indies governments established a medical assistant school that lasted for two years, and the graduates were certified to provide basic medical treatments. The degree conferred was Javanese Doctor, as the graduates were certified only to open their practice in the Dutch East Indies, especially Java. In 1864, it was expanded to three years. In 1875, the program of the study had reached seven years, and the graduates were entitled to the degree of Medical Doctor.

The hospital was established on 19 November 1919 as the Central Civil Hospital (Dutch: Centrale Burgerlijke Ziekeninrichting, CBZ).

The hospital was used by the Imperial Japanese Army from 1942 to 1945. In 1945, the name changed to Rumah Sakit Oemoem Negri (RSON). In 1945, it was renamed again as Rumah Sakit Umum Pusat (RSUP). In 1964, after Indonesia's independence, the name changed to Rumah Sakit Tijpto Mangunkusumo (RSTM), now RSCM, to match the Indonesian language. In 1994, the hospital was renamed Rumah Sakit Umum Pusat Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo (RSUP Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo). In 2008, a new building was opened, which is now the main hospital building with a capacity of nearly 700 beds.

In 2010, the RSCM Kencana building with an integrated laboratory was inaugurated. In 2013, the Kirana RSCM building for eye care service was opened. It is a 6-storey building located at Jalan Kimia, Cikini, Central Jakarta. The Center for Maternal and Child Health (PKIA) was inaugurated in 2014 and is housed in a 12-story building.
