U-center has been working with network partner Healthcare for internationals (H4i) for a few months. H4i is a non-profit network of organizations that aim to close the gap between Dutch healthcare and the needs and expectations of patients with an international background. Many expats and other internationals not only feel uncomfortable in Dutch healthcare, they also find themselves poorly informed about the system. The H4i Community platform aims to provide information to internationals about Dutch healthcare and Health insurance that better meets their needs. U-center fully supports this initiative.
