  • The Indonesianization of Social Medicine
    The Indonesianization of Social Medicine Vivek Neelakantan PhD student, The University of Sydney, Unit for the History and Philosophy of Science Abstract The purpose of social medicine, which began in Europe as an academic discipline during the Second World War, was to investigate the correlation between specific factors such as age, gender, race, heredity, economic circumstances, domestic environment, occupation and nutrition on health. Almost a decade later, Indonesian physicians applied social medicine ideas to promote public health in a country characterized by weak state intervention. These physicians eschewed the narrow correlation between poverty and ill health but reinterpreted social medicine within the Indonesian social context with its entrenched patriarchal system and cultural preferences. The wider theme explored in this article concerns the emergence of social medicine in twentieth-century Indonesia as a critical reaction to Dutch public health policies. The article examines the partnership between Indonesian physicians and the post-colonial state and their shared vision on state-guided social medicine, but does not explore why social medicine failed to usher in a transformation of the nation’s health system. Keywords: Social medicine, Pembangunan, nutrition, famine Introduction on family stability, a patriarchal system, and cultural choices pertaining to food-affected Social medicine began as an academic health outcomes. This article depicts the discipline in Europe at the time of the Second emergence of social medicine in twentieth- World War with the aim to investigate the century Indonesia as a critical reaction to Dutch correlation between specific factors such as age, public health policies. The article contains three gender, race, heredity, economic circumstances, sections.

  • And Philippine Transnationalism
    ROCKEFELLER ARCHIVE CENTER RESEARCH REPO RTS The Medical Spur to Postcolonial Science in Southeast Asia: Indonesia and the Philippines during the Early Decades of the Cold War by Vivek Neelakantan © 2019 by Vivek Neelakantan For the first time in 1943—at the height of the Japanese occupation of the Indonesian archipelago—Soekarno expressed the relationship between medicine and nation-building. 1 He had foreseen, in the not-too-distant future when the country would proclaim its independence from colonial rule, that physicians would have a unique niche in Indonesian society —as advocates of the largely illiterate Indonesian masses. He envisioned that a physician would not only treat the sick, but also educate the public about preventative health measures such that Indonesia would become a strong and healthy nation. 2 Eleven years later, President Ramon Magsaysay of the Philippines asserted in his first State of the Nation Address that no nation could go ahead if crippled by disease. These two vignettes attest to the centrality of public health in nation-building in postcolonial Indonesia and the Philippines. This paper investigates from a comparative historical perspective how and why public health became so central to postcolonial science. The early 1950s coincided with decolonisation in Southeast Asia. The US was apprehensive about the spread of communism and sought to purchase the loyalties of leaders of newly independent nations of Asia through technical assistance, channelized through UN agencies such as the World Health Organization (WHO). By portraying poverty and disease as the breeding grounds of communism, the US sought to assist disease eradication, especially anti-malaria campaigns in Indonesia and the Philippines.
