Youth Healthcare (Jeugdgezondheidszorg)

Being pregnant, your newborn baby,growing toddler, schoolchild, or your adolescent becoming independent….How fast children and youngsters really grow! And, of course, you as a parent want the best for your child, so that he or she can grow up in a safe environment. But growing up and upbringing also give
rise to doubts, questions, or concerns now and then. Every parent certainly recognizes this, and it is also very normal. At these times, youth healthcare services (JGZ) will be able to help.

Youth healthcare services looks after your growing child together with you from the time of your pregnancy, and from birth through the age of 18. We listen, think along, show the way and give advice. We are there for all parents, children, and upbringers. Our youth healthcare services team is
composed of a youth healthcare doctor, youth healthcare nurse, nursing specialist and a doctor’s assistant. They often work together with our health educators and behavioral scientists.
