We are the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport (VWS). We work towards a healthy, fit and resilient Netherlands. Now and in the future.

We do this by committing ourselves to good, affordable, sustainable care and support. You can rely on, whatever your situation. We also encourage a healthy lifestyle, sufficient exercise and good nutrition. And we offer the Netherlands good (top) sports facilities. We work together with many partners, such as the healthcare sector, municipalities, sports organisations, the business community, scientists and citizens.
