Also did the Dutch compared to the other ten countries have easy access to a gp, the waiting times are short and there are few financial barriers to care.
Minister Edith Schippers (public Health) is pleased with the result of the investigation, but also still enough space for improvements. “The results of this study confirm my feeling of pride when I visit ben in hospitals and health centres.”
“at the same time, I also see that we not can kick back,” said Schippers. “We have a lot to improve. Let’s do that and not waste our time with a stelseldiscussie. Abroad, and we’re not about developing countries. they look with envious glances how our care is organized.”
