In the Netherlands, you should always visit a GP first if you have health problems. This also applies if you are pregnant, need medical advice or have psychological problems, such as sleeping problems, fears or long-term depression. You will have a consultation with the family doctor. The GP will then examine your health problems and determine whether you need to be referred to specialist care, usually to a hospital.

Don't know how to get to a GP? Ask the municipality where you live where the nearest GP is. On the website of Huisarts voor Vluchteling (GP for a refugee) there are a number of general practitioners' offices where you can go for open consultations. A consultation with the family doctor is covered for refugees from Ukraine.

In the Netherlands you can go to the pharmacy for different purposes. For example for picking up medication that the general practitioner has prescribed. You can also go to the pharmacy for questions about a medicine. In addition, the pharmacist can give advice about mild health issues. Do you need medication? The following websites can help you:

• Overview of medicine texts translated in Ukrainian

• Where can I buy medicine?

• Where can I find information about medication?

Are you a refugee from Ukraine and do you need information about infectious diseases, tuberculosis, vaccinations or population screening? Then visit the RIVM website below. Have you registered in the municipality where you reside? If so, you may receive an invitation for a population screening. You can also find more information about this on the RIVM website.

For questions about your own healthcare or your family's, you can go to the website of the Dutch government.

When someone close to you dies, it is very unpleasant and can suddenly take a lot out of you. A lot will have to be arranged in the short term. The Government has developed a checklist to help you with this. Normally, the funeral is paid for by the next of kin or by the insurance company (if the deceased had funeral insurance). If the next of kin cannot afford this, the municipality usually pays for a simple funeral. At the moment there is no specific (financial) regulation for refugees from Ukraine. A death should always be reported to the municipality as soon as possible. This notification must take place before the funeral and almost always within 6 working days after the death. For more information, please contact the municipality where you live. You can also consult the checklist provided by the Government.
