KGI is part of YARSI University and YARSI Hospital. YARSI University itself was established by the Indonesian Islamic Hospital Foundation (YARSI) initially as YARSI College of Medicine on April 15, 1967 with a medical study program. The establishment of the YARSI Medical College originated from concerns over the scarcity of medical personnel in Indonesia and the still very underdeveloped Moslems in participating in the field of health education and services. At that time in Jakarta, there were no medical education institutions and hospitals that were managed by Islamic institutions.

 

In its journey, in 1969, in accordance with the provisions of law number 22 of 1961, this institution was changed to YARSI Medical College. With this educational institution, there are opportunities for prospective students to get medical education with the provision of the Islamic faith that guides human beings on the nature of life which basically only seeks the pleasure of ALLAH SWT
