We all get sick at some point. If you’re an expat in a strange country, it can be very scary to not know where to go or what to do. Have no fear; the Netherlands has plenty of top-quality medical care. Of course, they rarely hand out medication or take any action unless your condition is very serious, but still – sometimes it’s nice to reassure yourself that you’re not dying.

The University of Amsterdam has a medical center located on Oude Turfmarkt 151. They have walk-in hours (Monday - Friday from 9:00-9:45), and with any luck, you don’t have to wait too long to see a doctor. And it’s only about 25 Euros for a visit if you don’t have Dutch medical insurance.
