BeterDichtbij

Do you have a medical question? You can ask your doctor or healthcare provider at Erasmus MC Sophia directly in BeterDichtbij. Erasmus MC Sophia will of course remain the place where care is physically provided. However, contact about non-urgent medical questions can increasingly take place online. BeterDichtbij also provides information and answers to your general questions, for example about visiting hours and parking.

Your doctor or healthcare provider will personally invite you to use BeterDichtbij. After a simple registration, you can ask medical questions via BeterDichtbij. Ask your child's medical team about this.
