Translation

If you don’t speak Dutch well, there may be some room for misunderstanding between you and the healthcare professional you are consulting. If this is the case, ask your specialist or an employee to phone the Tolkencentrum or translators centre.

The translator can listen over the phone and ensure a good understanding. Very occasionally a translator can come to the appointment if translations over the telephone are not possible. This is a free service.
