Although Stovia (School ter Opleiding van Inlandsche Artsen) was established to produce indigenous (Bumiputra) doctors, its students and graduates were not given access to GTNI. In response, educators at Stovia founded the Tijdschrift Voor Inlandsche Geneeskundigen (TVIG) as a special journal for indigenous doctors. Due to limited funds, TVIG – the only scientific medical publication for indigenous doctors – ceased publication in 1922. The physicians formed Vereeniging van Inlandsche Geneeskundigen (VIG) an association for pribumi (native) doctors to express various demands for equal rights, one of which was the right to access GTNI. The protests and demands of the bumiputra doctors resulted not only in being granted reading access rights but also being able to become writers for GTNI. Bumiputra doctors who contributed to GTNI included Bahder Djohan and Johannes Leimena. However, they were not the only authors who contributed to GTNI during the Dutch East Indies era. After Indonesia became independent, both doctors played major roles in laying the foundation for Indonesia’s health education system and implementing village-based health policies. This article is part of a research project on Indonesia’s health history using the archives of the GTNI, TVIG and books written by doctors who contributed to GTNI which were published from the early twentieth century onwards. This paper reconstructs the role of GTNI writers in building Indonesian health knowledge. Abstrak Dalam mengakses Geneeskundig Tijdschrift voor Nederlandsch-Indië (GTNI) sebagai sebuah jurnal kedokteran Hindia Belanda, secara eklusif terbatas hanya untuk golongan dokter Eropa. Walaupun Stovia (School ter Opleiding van Inlandsche Artsen) dibuka untuk melahirkan dokter-dokter dari bumiputra. Lulusan Stovia tetap tidak bisa mendapat hak akses membaca GTNI. Dilain sisi para pendidik di Stovia mendirikan Tijdschrift Voor Inlandsche Geneeskundigen (TVIG) sebagai jurnal khusus untuk para dokter bumiputra. Akibat keterbatasan dana, TVIG sebagai satu- satunya media ilmiah dokter pribumi berhenti diterbitkan tahun 1922.
