The Netherlands – Map 5, year 2020

This is a map of the Netherlands showing the number of hospitals (including outpatient clinics) within a distance of 20 km. Colour-coded from light blue (less than 3) to dark blue (more than 24).

This indicator shows the number of hospitals (including outpatient clinics) within a distance of 20 km. This could be one of the indicators that will be part of an index for medical desertification. This index will be formulated and tested throughout AHEAD’s research activities, between October 2021 – May 2022. Eventually, a mouse-over or clicking on a municipality will also present additional information about that municipality, for example, the size of the population, its demographical composition or the percentage of unmet healthcare needs. Also, information from our in-country research will be included as we go along.

The Netherlands – Map 2, year 2020

This is a map of the Netherlands showing the distance, in km, to the nearest general practitioners (GP) practice, per municipality, as a possible indicator of healthcare access, colour-coded from light blue (longest distance) to dark blue (shortest distance). A clear rural-urban gradient can be observed, but not as pronounced as in map 1.

The Netherlands

On this page, you can the following information about medical desertification in the Netherlands: 

1) An illustrative story about an individual affected by medical desertification in the Netherlands 

2) Our country report on medical deserts in the Netherlands 

3) A selection of indicators for background information about the Netherlands 

4) Our Medical Deserts Diagnostic Tool: maps based on the contextualised set of indicators 

This is a map of the Netherlands showing the full-time equivalent of GPs per 100,000 population per municipality. Colour-coded from lightest blue (less than 30) to darkest blue (more than 65), for the years 2015-2018.

The municipalities are based on the 2018 municipal reorganisation. Comparing the years 2015-2018 gives an indication of the changes in GP coverage in the Netherlands.

This is a map of the Netherlands showing the number of general practitioners (GP) practice locations available within 5 km, per municipality, as a possible indicator of healthcare access, colour-coded from light blue (lowest numbers) to dark blue (highest numbers). A clear rural-urban gradient can be observed.

This is a map of the Netherlands showing the distance, in km, to the nearest general practitioners (GP) practice, per municipality, as a possible indicator of healthcare access, colour-coded from light blue (longest distance) to dark blue (shortest distance). A clear rural-urban gradient can be observed, but not as pronounced as in map 1.

This is a map of the Netherlands showing the number of GPs per 100,000 per municipality, adjusted for the population size and age groups. Different age groups require different levels of health care; this is accounted for in this map. Colour-coded from light blue (less GPs per 100,000 per municipality, adjusted for the population size and age groups) to dark blue (more GPs per 100,000 per municipality, adjusted for the population size and age groups).

This is a map of the Netherlands showing the number of GPs per 100,000 (per municipality), adjusted for the population size and age groups, and taking into consideration a service area (catchment area) with a radius of 20 km. Different age groups require different levels of health care; this is accounted for in this map. Moreover, a 10 km distance to a GP practice could be considered an acceptable distance, which means that people living within that area can choose which GP to visit. Colour-coded from light blue (less GPs per 100,000 per municipality, adjusted for the population size and age groups, within 20km) to dark blue (more GPs per 100,000 per municipality, adjusted for the population size and age groups, within 20 km).

This is a map of the Netherlands showing the number of hospitals (including outpatient clinics) within a distance of 20 km. Colour-coded from light blue (less than 3) to dark blue (more than 24).

This is a map of the Netherlands showing the distance to the nearest hospital (including outpatient clinics). Colour-coded from light blue (more than 30 km) to dark blue (less than 2,5 km)

Number of hospitals, adjusted for population age groups, in a catchment area of 20km.

Serbia – Map 3

This is a map of Serbia by districts (NUTS3 level) showing the total number of gynecologists per 100,000 female population over 15 years old in 2020, colour coded from light purple (from less than 20) to dark purple (to over 40).

This indicator shows the physical availability of gynecologists to the population in the specific district, as one of potential indicators of medical desertification, and might become part of the index for medical desertification which will be formulated throughout research activities, between October 2021 and May 2022.

The districts with the lowest number of gynecologists per 100,000 female population over 15 years old are Raški, Zapadnobački, Sremski, Severnobački, Zaječarski, and Južnobanatski. The number of gynecologists per 100,000 female population over 15 years old in these districts ranges from 17 to 26.

Eventually, a mouse-over or clicking on a district will also present additional information about that district, such as the size of the population, it’s demographic composition or the percentage of unmet health needs. Also, information from our in-country research will be included as we go along.

Serbia – Map 2

This indicator shows the physical availability of general practitioners to the population in the specific district, as one of the potential indicators of medical desertification, and might become part of the index for medical desertification which will be formulated through research activities, between October 2021 and May 2022.

The districts with the lowest number of general practitioners per 100,000 population over 20 years old are Toplički, Kolubarski, Mačvanski, Borski, Moravički, and Podunavski. The number of general practitioners per 100,000 population over 20 years old in these districts ranges from 34 to 39.
