Youth Health Care

The municipality is responsible for youth health care. This is health care for all children between the ages of 0 and 19. You and your child will receive an invitation to visit a consultation center or school.

You can get information about youth health care at GGD Fryslân.

How does it work?

You can contact the information and advice line of GGD Fryslân Jeugdgezondheidszorg, telephone number (088) 22 99 444 (local rate). This number can be reached every working day from 09.00 to 17.00. For more information, please visit GGDFryslan.nl.

All children have the right to be and stay healthy. The GGD helps keep society healthy by preventing health problems. Even when there is nothing wrong at first sight. Because the earlier a disadvantage, disorder or disease is detected, the greater the chance of optimal development. And this early detection is possible because the GGD has contact with all children at regular intervals.
