The Javanese nobility financed since 1866 a faciliy to nurse leprosy patients. In 1876 a number of 45 were hospitalized. About 1877 the numbers are lacking.
In view of the policy formulated by the government in 1871, there was no need to isolate the leprosy patients and this meant that they could be admitted into general hospitals. Closing the leprosy institutions did not mean that the prevalence of leprosy had diminished. It only indicated that there was no more need to separate these patients from other patients. It may not have been accidental that the leprosy institutions that did not close their doors and kept a large number of patients were situated in the Vorstenlanden. Maybe in these regions the attitude towards leprosy had not changed: people still felt uncomfortable and did not allow the leprosy victims to live together with the healthy population.

As for the institutions taking care of leprosy patients, the reports mention that the leprosy institution of Pelantoengan (Semarang) cared for 83 patients (0f whom 22 European) in 1897. Two of these patients deceased and 37 were discharged on demand. At Wangkoeng (Soerakarta) a total of 103 leprosy patients were nursed , of whom 29 died , whereas 9 patients were evacuated and 17 were discharged. Therefore by the end of 1897 a number of 108 stayed on in this institution. The leprosy institution at Loano (Djokjakarta) counted a total of 293 patients of whom 200 had been discharged on demand and 42 had died.  Near the main town of Pontianak (Westerafdeeling of Borneo) a leprosy institution had been founded on request of the population. The running costs of this establishment were supplied by the population. By the end of 1897, 7 patients were taken care of by the population. In the Residency of Eastcoast of Sumatra leprosy could be found among the immigrated Chinese population. The Leprosy Asylum at Medan (being part of the Immigration asylum mentioned in Annexe V) hospitalized 84 patients by the end of the year 1897 , being 15 patients in surplus compared to the year 1896. During that year 41 patients had been admitted, whereas 12 had been discharged as cured persons and 14 had died. In addition a leprosy institution could be found at Medan and one near Tandjong Poera (Beneden-Langkat). These establishments had been financed by wealthy Chinese.
