Historical Highlights

RSKJ Dharmawangsa is the first and oldest private Mental Health Hospital in Indonesia which was initiated by Prof. DR. Dr. Kusumanto Setyonegoro, Sp.KJ(K) (then Dr. Kusumanto Setyonegoro, Psychiatrist) to help develop Psychiatry, which at the time was still part of Medical Science which did not receive enough attention. The idea to form a Foundation to foster the establishment of a private Mental Health Hospital was initially supported by a number of prominent figures of psychiatrists, psychologists and neurologists, but they were not available to take part in the implementation due to their own duties as well as assignments or moving abroad.

With the support of Mrs. Sulasmi Mudjiati Soedarman and Mr. Gan Tik Bie, an In-patient Psychiatric Clinic, which was later known as Sanatorium Dharmawangsa, was developed and officially occupied the location on Jalan Dharmawangsa since 6 June 1961.

Further development into a Hospital was made possible with the involvement of Dr. Wartomo Prijosembodo, Sp.KJ (then Dr. Siek Sian Kong) and Prof. Dr. Sasanto Wibisono, Sp.KJ(K) (then Dr. Sasanto Wibisono), who along with Prof. Kusumanto, Mrs. Soedarman and Mr. Gan Tik Bie founded Yayasan Kesehatan Jiwa Dharmawangsa (Dharmawangsa Mental Health Foundation / YKJ Dharmawangsa) as the managing institution for the Hospital.

Starting in 2012, YKJ Dharmawangsa transformed into PT Dharmawangsa Raya as the Company overseeing the operational activities of RSKJ Dharmawangsa.
