🩺Navigating Dutch healthcare: top tips you need to know!

The session was presented by Luc Jansen from Jans Huisartsen and offered practical advice on essential topics like registering with a GP, understanding health insurance options, and switching providers. For example, did you know your insurance company is responsible for ensuring you have access to a general practitioner? Or that you must first visit a GP before being referred to a medical specialist? This webinar provided helpful tips and answered questions that helped to better understand the Dutch healthcare system. Thank you to everyone who attended! Missed the session? No problem!
