ABOUT US > HISTORY

It was the vision of a Seventh-Day Adventist missionary and medical doctor, Donald N. Holm, that Bandung Adventist Hospital was established and inaugurated on October 2, 1950. Situated in Tamansari Road 40, Bandung, the hospital was merely a Dutch-style residence renovated into a 24-bed capacity medical facility with a handful of staff.
 

Further expansion during the first decade includes the purchase of additional land in 1953 to accommodate additional buildings to house new facilities. The community responded positively and by the year 1960, bed capacity is already at 110.

The rising demand for healthcare services proved that the old facility was inadequate. Thus a new hospital was constructed on a more strategic area of the city by the help of donors. On January 24, 1963 the 3-storey health facility with 150 bed capacity was inaugurated by Indonesia’s first lady Hartini Soekarno.

Dr. Henry Novak was the last non-Indonesian administrator. Since 1970, leadership was passed on to capable Indonesians hands. American doctors soon gave way to Indonesian doctors. Yet for many years, the hospital was always known as ‘the American hospital’.

By 1990, Bandung Adventist Hospital is one of the leading hospitals in Bandung with state-of-the-art medical facilities. A new exclusive wing housing VIP and 2-bed rooms was inaugurated on April 2000. And an additional 10 VIP rooms added in 1997, making bed capacity to 215.

September 2000 a new two-storey Outpatient Center, the Newstart Plaza, was completed on a 3.600 square meters of land beside the original building.

Three years later, a new wing on the third floor was added, housing 3 suites and 6 Super VIP rooms.

Bandung Adventist Hospital is one among a chain of 500 hospital & clinics around the world which is owned and operated by the Seventh-Day Adventist Church.
