Safety & Emergency
If possible, always consult a GP with any health problems. You should only go to the Accident and Emergency Department (EHBO) in a hospital in the case of severe illness and /or injury. Your medical insurance will not reimburse the high costs of a consultation in the Accident and Emergency department if the visit is for an illness which could be handled by a GP or by the Centrale Huisartsenpost. There is an EHBO in all hospitals.
In case of serious accidents or sudden illness requiring immediate attention, call the general emergency number: 112
