From this website we copied a few statements on the history of the hospital (Google translated and abbreviated):

In the early twentieth century, Cirebon was a dirty and abused city. The condition of Cirebon is irregular, dirty, muddy, full of mud and dirt, and does not have a household waste water disposal channel. This situation is made worse by the existence of "Kali Bacin" which is filled with piles of dirt that have been submerged in salty water and sprinkled with an unpleasant smell. The accumulation of dirt is due to the smooth flow of river water which is very dependent on the tides of sea water. When the sea is high tide, garbage and dirt that has been submerged in seawater enters the river and then becomes a thick pile at the mouth of the river. As a result, every year during the rainy season Cirebon is always flooded with a height of about one meter.

Gemeente Cirebon made policies aimed at changing the conditions and image of the city of Cirebon. Gemeente Cirebon with the motto "per aspera ad astra" which is contained in its symbol provides directions for the policy direction of Cirebon city development in the early twentieth century. The motto contains a spirit to build the city in achieving prosperity. "Per aspera ad astra" means "from the thorns of thistles and swamps to the stars". Gemeente Cirebon intends to change the state of a city that was originally filled with thorns and swamps, underdeveloped and undeveloped Cirebon, into a state like a star, a point of light that catches the eye.

The efforts made by Gemeente Cirebon are improving and building infrastructure that can change the physical condition and image of Cirebon City. The types of social infrastructure built include the provision of clean water infrastructure, health infrastructure, and street lighting. Efforts to create a clean city are carried out by Gemeente Cirebon simultaneously through the construction of waterways, removal of puddles of sewage and rain, disposal of garbage and sewage, construction of latrines and public baths. These activities are also related to Gemeente Cirebon's efforts in eradicating malaria.
