Hospitals in the Netherlands

For accidents and emergencies you should go directly to the the EHBO (Eerste Hulp Bij Ongelukken) .

For non-emergency treatment, you will requested for the referral letter from your huisarts.

The first time you will go to an hospital (and for each hospital you will visit) a registration procedure will be conducted and your insurance policy number will be required. Keep your insurance card always with you in your wallet. Once the registration would be completed, you should receive your personal card you are supposed to bring with you the next time you should go to that hospital.
