In 1921 the GBZ at Medan was split up in a Mannenhospitaal  and a Vrouwenhospitaal (Female hospital). This separation lasted to 1930, when the old Stadsverband was replaced by a new municipal hospital. In 1921, the nursing of female patients was transferred to the new Vrouwenhospitaal (Female hospital) and this hospital looked after midwife care in the town of Medan too. In 1930 the old Stadsverband was replaced by a new municipal hospital with 3 doctors. The patients of the Female hospital were transferred to the new hospital and the female hospital was left with only the midwife training. In 1935, this training too was transferred to the municipal hospital. Midwife training and training of mantri-nurses took place in the new hospital.
