✓ Correct answer: A. De huisarts
Explanation: In Nederland ga je eerst naar de huisarts. De huisarts verwijst je door naar een specialist in het ziekenhuis als dat nodig is.

Why are the other answers wrong?
- B. The hospital: The hospital is for specialist care. You usually only go there after a referral from your GP.
- C. 112: You only call 112 when a life is in danger or after a serious accident.
- D. The pharmacy (apotheek): The pharmacy gives medicine and advice, but does not examine you like a doctor.
💡 Tip: Register with a GP near your home as soon as you move. Without registration it can be hard to get an appointment.
