No more intensive care in Zoetermeer: ​​this is how it works if you need ICU care

The Haga Hospital in Zoetermeer will no longer have intensive care from December 1, 2023. What does that mean for Zoetermeer residents who urgently need intensive care?

You will receive an answer to that question, and many other questions, on Wednesday, November 29, during the HagaZiekenhuis information evening.

From ‘intensive’ to ‘high’

The HagaZiekenhuis announced at the end of September that the ICU in Zoetermeer has been closed. Instead, we will have a high care department in Zoetermeer. This means that important bodily functions are monitored and supported.

Patients in serious danger to life are immediately taken to the ICU at the Haga Hospital in The Hague. In acute cases, patients are first stabilized in HagaZiekenhuis Zoetermeer and then taken to The Hague. All this is in an article on the website of AD Zoetermeer.

Ask all your questions

The plans and consequences of the new department can be heard during the special information evening on Wednesday, November 29. Local residents can then ask questions. The evening takes place in the hospital at Toneellaan 1 and lasts from 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM. Registration is not necessary.
