Taking good care of healthcare
Every person residing or working in the Netherlands is entitled to good care services from the standard health insurance package. Our healthcare system is based on the principle of solidarity. Rich and poor, young and old, healthy and sick: everyone in the Netherlands has access to the same care. All of us pay for this system via premiums and taxes.
The standard health insurance must include care that functions for a reasonable price and that is appropriate to the needs of the patient. At the same time, it is also important to ensure that the standard health insurance package remains accessible in the future. That is what the National Health Care Institute works to ensure: adequate insured healthcare services for everyone in the Netherlands, now and in the future.
