If you need urgent medical care in the evenings, at night or on weekends and public holidays, always call the GP centre first (there is a central telephone number for the whole of Zeeuws-Vlaanderen): 0115 - 643 000.
There are two after-hours GP centres in Zeeuws-Vlaanderen:
Huisartsenpost/GP centre - Terneuzen site
Vlietstraat 12, 4535 HA Terneuzen
Huisartsenpost/GP centre - Oostburg site
Pastoor van Genklaan 6, 4501 AJ Oostburg
When you phone the GP centre you will be connected to a specially trained doctor’s assistant.
The doctor’s assistant will ask you:
- for your personal details (date of birth, name, address and phone number).
- for your symptoms and what help you need.
- further questions about your symptoms, your use of medication, medical history (diseases, surgery, allergies).
- for details of your insurance, on a valid European Health Insurance Card (EHIC). These EHICs are the only insurance items that a doctor abroad can accept.
- if an appointment is made, we will ask you to bring a valid EHIC card with you and an identity card/passport, so that we can make a copy for administrative purposes.
If you need medical care during office hours (weekdays; between 08:00 and 17:00), but you don’t know a doctor in the area?
You can call the doctor’s office and make an appointment to be seen by a doctor, who can refer you to a hospital if necessary.
