Visiting the Huisarts - GP

How can I find a doctor that speaks my language (no English-speaking)?

All doctors during a patient consult have a choice to contact the ‘tolkentelefoon ‘(interpreters phone). This organisation Global Talk has many interpreters and translators able to translate over 200 languages. Besides translating documents, the translators can assists doctors/specialists during their doctor/patient consultation. Please note that you will be charged for this service. You can find more information at: https://www.globaltalk.eu/

Alternatively, you can ask a Dutch-speaking friend to accompany you to the doctor’s appointment.
