Dr. Lonkhuizen, the director of the Department of Health, proposed the establishment of School of Dentistry in Surabaya.
Two years later, the post-WW II Dutch colonial government took over Ika-Shika Daigaku and then changed its name to Tandheelkundig Instituut (Institute of Dentistry) and NIAS was reopened as Faculteit der Geneeskunde (Faculty of Medicine).
