Our department of the GGD Rotterdam-Rijnmond will soon be moving to a new location at “de Zalmstraat”. Due to this relocation, the current department will be closed from September 23rd to October 2nd. During this period, we will only be available for emergencies.

For urgent matters, you can visit other locations of the Regional Expertise Center for Tuberculosis Control in South Holland. We thank you for your understanding during this transition and are happy to assist with any questions you may have.

Immigrants, expats & students

Have you been referred for a tuberculosis test by the Immigration and Naturalisation department? (IND). Check if tuberculosis testing is required.

Had contact with a tuberculosis patient?

Persons who had contact with a patient with contagious tuberculosis will be invited for tuberculosis testing as part of a contact investigation. This is done to find persons who are possibly infected in an early stage and offer treatment.

Children and BCG vaccination

In the Netherlands a BCG vaccination is offered to children if one or both parents are from a country where tuberculosis is more common. The vaccination is offered to children till the age of 12 years. Especially young children are susceptible and can be severely ill due to tuberculosis.
