Patients insured with the Staatsziekenfonds (SZF) have been unable to receive surgical treatment from surgeons affiliated with the Diakonessenhuis since Tuesday, November 3, 2026.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The<\/span> measure is the result of a dispute between the surgeons and the SZF. The hospital’s management is concerned about the consequences for the accessibility and continuity of care.<\/p>\n

The Diakonessenhuis<\/a> confirmed the situation on Wednesday, November 4, in an official press release. According to the hospital’s management, the surgeons involved have decided to stop treating SZF-insured patients as of November 3. The statement does not explain exactly what prompted the conflict between the surgeons and the Staatsziekenfonds.<\/p>\n

Consequences for patients<\/h2>\n

The situation that has arisen could have major consequences for SZF<\/a>-insured patients who depend on surgical care at the Diakonessenhuis. The hospital acknowledges that the accessibility and continuity of this care provision are under serious pressure.<\/p>\n

\"Entrance<\/p>\n

The press release does not indicate how many patients are affected by the measure. Nor is it clear whether exceptions apply for emergency cases or patients already undergoing surgical treatment.<\/p>\n

Management seeks solution<\/h2>\n

The management of the Diakonessenhuis says it will do everything possible to normalise the situation as soon as possible.<\/p>\n

The hospital regrets the situation that has arisen and expresses hope that the parties involved will quickly reach a solution, with patients’ interests taking priority. It is not yet known when surgical services for SZF-insured patients can be resumed.<\/p>\n
