Question 5

Is the treatment program available in languages other than Dutch?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If it appears that there is a language barrier that prevents the care from being provided in an appropriate manner, an interpreter can be used in consultation. The organization that is committed to the quality of medical care and public health (KNMG) says the following about this:

For good care, doctors and other care providers need more extensive use of professional interpreters, as was already shown in NIVEL research (2016). This mainly concerns situations in which the patient does not speak enough Dutch , the nature of the care demand requires a professional interpreter and the patient is demonstrably unable to afford a professional interpreter. These patients run additional health risks without an interpreter, as does society as a whole, for example in the case of infectious diseases. In addition, misunderstandings lead to extra use of care and therefore to extra costs .
