After de Panne, other municipalities are also looking for summer doctors
General practitioners from the interior step in in July and August, and that is necessary, because there are many tourists and second home residents on the coast. In exchange, they get a free vacation rental and a number of other benefits. Tourists and second residents from the region of the GP circle of the IJzerstreek and West Coast (Koksijde, Nieuwpoort, Diksmuide, Veurne, De Panne and Alveringem) could thus visit a summer doctor on duty who works from the GP post in Veurne.
