Healthcare in the Netherlands

While you are staying in the Netherlands, you may become ill or have other medical needs. As an LGBTIQ+ person, you might need specific care, such as HIV testing or psychological support. All healthcare professionals must keep your information private. This means you can safely tell them that you are LGBTIQ+ and talk openly about your health concerns. The doctor can help you better when they know all the important information about you.

Sexual health

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are diseases that can be passed on through sexual contact. Examples include chlamydia and HIV. Most STIs can be cured with medication. Getting treatment early helps you recover and protects your health.

Transgender specific healthcare

If you are a transgender person, you have access to healthcare services like anyone else. However, there are some limitations to transgender specific healthcare for asylum seekers staying at a COA reception location.
