On 9 September 1925 the Central Civil Hospital (, CBZ) opened. 1942 – 1945 (Japanese Occupation) 
During the Japanese occupation, Dutch physicians were taken as prisoners. Hence, the hospital selected Dr. Notokuworo act as director to fill in the leadership.

Japanese government renamed it into Central People's Hospital (Indonesian: Pusat Rumah Sakit Rakyat, PURUSARA, ). 1945 – 1950 (Revolution)
