A trusted practice with a new look at midwifery care

Femme Verloskundigen has been a well-known name in The Hague for 25 years. We are located in the heart of the city, right in the center. Within walking distance of the HMC Westeinde hospital and easily accessible by tram, bus and car.

Our story

Trusted in The Hague for 25 years

Our practice was founded at a time when midwifery care was mainly approached clinically. We wanted something different: care that focuses on women, with personal attention and clear explanations.

In the years that followed we saw generations of women passing by. Sometimes first for their own pregnancy, later with their sister, a friend or their daughter. That trust is what drives us.

We have given Femme a new look, without losing what has always been important: personal care, clear communication and a trusted place to go with your questions.
