Welcome
The Rivierenbuurt General Practice is a relatively small practice with a distinct vision. We strive to provide primary health care on a small but efficient scale enabling us to keep in touch with the community.
We are certified with the NHG quality label of national primary health care practice which is audited every three years. We are actively involved in different innovative community health care projects improving health care pathways.
We are member of Zorg in Zuid. Zorg voor Zuid is a group of individual GP practices in Amsterdam South that work together on optimizing healthcare for its patients. It can be challenging to be in a different country with a different health system and explaining your medical situation in a foreign language. We understand the challenges that internationals, and their families, face after settling in the Netherlands. Our GPs take time to listen to your personal story and are eager to understand what is important to you!

At the moment we can't take in new patients. If you have a registered partner at our practie please contact us for more information.
A number of people who are on our practice photos no longer work in practice. Nevertheless, we like the photos so much that we will keep them for a while until we have a new idea for new photos with the new team. Suggestions welcome!

Patient information
Dutch health care system
The Dutch healthcare system was ranked the best in Europe for the seventh consecutive year in 2017, according to the annual index compiled by Sweden’s Health Consumer Powerhouse. The index is based on 48 indicators, including accessibility, costs, results, patient’s rights and the use of pharmaceuticals. Accessibility of health care for all inhabitants is the major advantage of the Dutch health care system, although this comes at a significant cost.
To optimize and personalize your health care experience as well as to minimize increasing health care costs and waiting lists in the Netherlands, many health care services/tasks have been decentralized from the specialist in hospital to the general practitioner (who is in close contact with the specialist). Primary health care offered by our GP’s is covered (free) by the basic insurance package, which is compulsory for all inhabitants.
For hospital specialist care (including a visit to the emergency department of a hospital or a consulting specialist), every health care user is requested to contribute his own risk (a minimum amount of approximately €385) first after which the insurance company contributes the rest. On certain occasions an extra insurance package is required to cover all health care costs.
