Command of the Dutch language

The Medical Treatment Contracts Act (WGBO) stipulates that the care provider must communicate in terms which are understandable to the client.

The NMT regards having an adequate command of the Dutch language to be very important.

If the medical professional is (as yet) unable to make him/herself understood in Dutch, he/she can arrange an interpreter for free via the Tolk- en Vertaalcentrum Nederland (TVCN), phone +31 (0)74-255 5233).
