We are committed to providing proper medical guidance and personal attention of consistently high quality.

Collaboration The GP, maternity care assistant, and child healthcare centre as well as the gynaecologist and paediatrician are our partners in the provision of integrated healthcare. We have had good contact and very satisfactory collaboration with our partners in the area for years. Mutual consultation takes place smoothly and swiftly and you are referred if necessary.

Quality register The four of us are registered with the KNOV, the professional association of midwives. As registered members we are required to follow the guidelines and meet the standards of the professional association. This register moreover keeps track of how many continuing education and refresher courses we attend.

Baby-Friendly Our practice has obtained the Baby-Friendly certification! This means that we have the accreditations for our good-quality healthcare regarding baby food (breast milk and formula) according to the International Code of the World Health Organization (WHO) and UNICEF.
