Ebola information for GPs

donderdag 21 augustus 2014 16:00

RIVM has sent a message to Community Health Services containing information about how issues concerning Ebola are arranged in the Netherlands. The Community Health Service can use this information to inform General Practitioners and after-hours clinics about Ebola and refer to the information available at the NHG (Dutch College of General Practitioners) and LHV (National Association of General Practitioners). GPs are advised to inquire about the travelling history of potentially suspect patients by telephone. If a GP believes this might concern an Ebola infection, consultation with the relevant Community Health Service will take place immediately.
