Are you a trans person and do you need care? For specific transgender care, you need a referral from your general practitioner. After that, you can go to the hospital. The hospitals that offer transgender care are: - Amsterdam UMC - Groningen UMC

Good to know: both hospitals have long waiting lists.

With Dutch health insurance, treatment is covered. However, not everything is covered by the insurance. Ask about this at the hospital. The insurance covers:
