Sint-Niklaas opens temporary emergency medical post for residents without a general practitioner

Sint-Niklaas has opened a temporary medical post for residents without a family doctor, addressing a shortage that could leave 11,000 citizens without care. The post, named 'Dokter 9100', will operate for at least two years and is staffed by both active and retired doctors. It aims to alleviate pressure on existing practices and the local hospital's emergency services. The city is also seeking investors for two new group practices to ensure long-term healthcare solutions. Patients can visit the post on weekdays without an appointment.
