Hello guys. I am person who plan to go to Netherlands.
I think you guys know about Netherlands assist suicide.
so I was sending there hospital.
and answer has come now.
here is answer :
Thank you for your interest in our organization.
Since you do not reside in the Netherlands your request for euthanasia is quite complicated.
The Dutch Euthanasia Act prescribes that a set of criteria of due care is met. These criteria state that the physician:
• Must be convinced that the request from the patient is voluntary and well-considered.
• Must be convinced that the patient suffers unbearably without prospect of improvement.
• Must have informed the patient about his/her situation and their prognosis.
• Must be convinced, together with the patient, that there is no reasonable other solution for his/her situation.
In order to determine whether or not a request satisfies these requirements, thorough investigation has to follow. This investigation begins by studying your medical files. Relevant medical information has to be made available to us, by you, in Dutch, English, French, German, Italian or Spanish.
An investigation of a request by the Levenseindekliniek takes time. Depending on what type of underlying illness serves as the motivation for your request, this varies from approximately several weeks to several months. If a mental illness underlies your request for euthanasia the process will be augmented by psychiatric evaluation by one of our psychiatrists. The process will therefore take considerably longer, sometimes even over a year.
During the investigation by the Levenseindekliniek you will have to acquire residence in the Netherlands. Depending on your nationality, visa or permits might be required. Arranging these matters is your own responsibility.
Moreover, during the course of an investigation by the Levenseindekliniek several conversations with the patient will take place. Due to the nature of these conversations, a high level of proficiency in Dutch or English is essential.
Furthermore, the Levenseindekliniek, despite what its name might suggest, has no medical facilities. If you need any medical care or assistance, you will have to arrange and pay for it yourself. The costs for the procedure by the Levenseindekliniek will also have be covered by you if you don't have a Dutch health insurance.
Please note that an investigation of a request by the Levenseindekliniek by no means guarantees that your request will be granted. The outcome could very well be that your request does not meet the requirements as stated in the Dutch Euthanasia Act.
If you send us your complete medical files, we could do a pre-investigation in order to estimate whether or not it makes sense for you to move to the Netherlands.
If you want us to help you, please follow the next steps subsequently:
1 Consider the possibilities for you to find an address in the Netherlands where you can live during our investigations. If that is not possible, we cannot help you.
2 Realize that our staff needs to discuss your request extensively with you. Therefore you need to speak Dutch or English fluently. Discussions with the service of an interpreter are insufficient. So if you don't speak Dutch or English fluently, we cannot help you.
3 Collect your medical files and send these to us for a pre-investigation
4 Wait for our reaction. If our impression on the basis of your medical files doesn't support the idea that we could help you, it doesn't make sense for you to move to the Netherlands
5 If our first impression supports the idea that your request could be granted, find an address in the Netherlands where you can live during our investigations.
6 Find a doctor who can take care of you during our investigations. If this doctor is able to perform euthanasia or Physician assisted suicide, you don't need our service.
7 Fill out our application form including your address in the Netherlands and the name and other data of your doctor in the Netherlands.
8 Following this application, we can discuss a time schedule of the investigations to follow.
9 Then we will investigate your request thoroughly and if we can conclude that all criteria are met, we could help you
10 Realize that it is uncertain that your request will be granted. The outcome could very well be that your request does not meet the requirements as stated in the Dutch Euthanasia Act.
11 Please note, that our investigations are not free of charge. If you don't have a Dutch health Insurance, you need to be prepared to pay for our service.
Sincerely,
Met vriendelijke groet,
hope you guys know this imformation
thank you.
