You register with a local GP (huisarts), who is your first point of contact for medical care and referrals in the Dutch healthcare system. It is best to register soon after you arrive and have your BSN and health insurance (zorgverzekering), because some practices have limited room for new patients. The huisarts also refers you to specialists and hospitals when needed.
