Participation and patient self-determination

A health care system that takes into account differences between people benefits the entire Dutch population. That is why this program strives to optimise quality, effectiveness and accessibility of health care for people with limited health care skills and migrant groups.
We highlight the health care experience of clients with limited health skills and migrant groups.
We strengthen the position of the patient by making basic information about the health care system more accessible to them, and promote participation in patient organisations.
We provide health insurers and municipalities with targeted information to enable them to purchase effective care and support, including for clients from migrant backgrounds.
