Abstract

This study discusses the plantation hospital owned by Deli Maatschappij, focusing on the Dutch colonial period in East Sumatra. This study aims to explain the history of the hospital's establishment and its impact on plantation workers. The research method used is historical research, which consists of several steps, namely heuristics, criticism, interpretation, and historiography. Bangkattan Hospital is located in Binjai, which was previously part of the Langkat district. Bangkattan Hospital is affiliated with 12 plantations in the surrounding area. Bangkattan Hospital provided modern health services and adequate facilities for the care and treatment of laborers and the local community, which yielded satisfactory results for those who received treatment. This changed the local community's perception of European medicine for the better.
