Healthcare for children in the Netherlands

The Gemmeentelijke Gezondheidsdienst would follow the entire growth and development of your children up to their 19^th birthday.

You should register your kids to the local GGD, but it would be very probable they would reach you soon after you’ve completed your registration to your municipality.

When you would decide to grow up your children in the Netherlands, consultatiebureau would be one of the first Dutch words you would learn. It’s the local GGD office in charge of regularly checking up your kids. I should admit that they are impressively very well organized and efficient.
