Abstract

This article discusses the handling of the health of pilgrims since the Ordonantie van 1922, which regulates the organization of the ḥajj in the Dutch East Indies. As is known, during this period, there were several epidemics, such as smallpox, cholera, and the Spanish flu. Governments from around the world agreed to prevent the spread of the outbreak by cooperating in the health sector. This study uses historical research methods, which are based on four activities, starting from finding sources, criticizing sources or verifying data, interpreting and writing history. The approach used is the concept of social history to see how the Dutch East Indies government fortified its people from the threat of plague during the pilgrimage (ḥajj) season. Among the findings of this study is that the Dutch East Indies Government paid special attention to the health management of pilgrims from the East Indies. They conducted regular health checks starting from the port of Tanjung Priok to several places before entering Jeddah. These checks were carried out to prevent the spread of viruses such as cholera, smallpox, and Spanish Flu Abstrak: Artikel ini membahas tentang penanganan kesehatan jemaah haji sejak Ordonantie van 1922, yang mengatur tentang penyelenggaraan ibadah haji di Hindia Belanda.
