Jabaaij, L. The Dutch health care system: how are we organised? In: G.P. Westert; L. Jabaaij; F.G. Schellevis. Morbidity, performance and quality in primary care: Dutch general practice on stage. Oxon: Radcliffe Publishing, 2006. 19-25
The Netherlands has a unique and complex healthcare organisation and financing system. Insight into
the peculiarities of the Dutch system helps one to understand the position of general practice. This
chapter opens with a short outline of Dutch demographics: who are we and how many are we?
Subsequently, the funding of healthcare is discussed, and the way it is organised. The chapter end
with some future developments. (aut. ref.)
