Before the trip

Make an appointment as soon as you have booked a trip. Preferably six weeks before departure. Are you going to travel, emigrate, work or do an internship for a long time? Please get in touch with us as early as possible, preferably seven months before the trip. 
Pay attention: Vaccination still makes sense if you are going on a short-term or unexpected trip.
You will receive expert advice based on your previous vaccinations, health status and nature of the trip. We will give you tailor-made advice and the recommended vaccinations/prescriptions during the consultation. If necessary, we also immediately make follow-up appointments.

  • Inquire in advance whether your health insurance covers the costs of repatriation to the Netherlands;
  • Check to what extent treatment costs are covered abroad;
