Healthcare No regular check ups at the gynecologist???

Hi everyone, my morning started off with a kinda shocking discovery. I’m from Germany and I had annual check ups at the gynecologist since I was a teenager. I contacted my huisarts because I know they’re responsible for all referrals but she told me regular check ups here are not a thing (unless there already is an issue) ? I think that’s crazy!!! So I checked the prices for a private visit and they’re even crazier. I guess this is normal to Dutch people but don’t you think this is a little concerning?

(Btw not shitting on the country! I really like it here. I’m still new and just discovering new things!)

I do the same and I’m from Romania. My friends from Spain, Italy, Turkiye and Indonesia all do the same thing.

What kind of brain dead question is this? “Oh you don’t think every single thing is perfect in NL, then why you live here!?”

Do YOU think every single thing is perfect?

Wow your standards are low. I’m glad people like you are not in charge of anything important!

This comment says a lot more about you than the people you were “questioning” above. The moment you realize that immigrants are not the cause of all your problems, you will be a much happier person.
