Core offering

Federatie voor Gezondheid is a Dutch non-profit federation that bundles ~70 member organizations active in healthcare, public health, prevention, and wellness to collectively advance the transition from "nazorg" (aftercare) to "voorzorg" (prevention). It offers tiered organization membership, quarterly strategic sessions, joint lobbying and policy influence, access to the 1SociaalDomein collaboration platform, and cross-sector action coalitions (doe-coalities). The federation applies a distinctive "dilemma-reconciliatie" methodology to address complex societal health challenges by reconciling conflicting values rather than choosing between them.

Product overview

Federatie voor Gezondheid is a membership-based federation organization that brings together approximately 70 Dutch organizations focused on public health and prevention. Rather than offering commercial products or technology platforms, the organization functions as a network and advocacy body facilitating collaboration, knowledge sharing, and collective action toward a healthy society. Their activities include organizing quarterly sessions (kwartaalsessies), facilitating action coalitions (doe-coalities), publishing research and position papers, and running initiatives like Missie Veerkracht. The organization does not offer a unified software product or platform with distinct modules.
