International activities

Ambulancezorg Nederland considers it important to extend its horizons across borders. Not only with a view to developments within a European framework and internationalisation in general, but also with regard to the continual improvement of the care provision.

After all, we can learn a great deal from one another in an international context. Ambulancezorg Nederland is active internationally, both structurally and in projects. For instance, when it comes to providing expertise in the development of ambulance care elsewhere, such as on Aruba and in Surinam.
 
Furthermore, Ambulancezorg Nederland participates in international joint projects, such as the EU project ‘The Needs of Medical First Responders during Disasters (NMFRDisasters)’.

In the Newsletter NMFRDisaster project of September 2009, the structure, working methode, conclusions and recommendations of the project are being outlined.

The basis of international activities is formed by an international network, and extending that network is therefore an important objective. This is one of the reasons why Ambulancezorg Nederland is developing English-language information material about Dutch ambulance care.
