GGD Gooi en Vechtstreek

What GGD Gooi en Vechtstreek does

GGD Gooi en Vechtstreek (Gemeentelijke Gezondheidsdienst) is the designated municipal public health service for the Gooi en Vechtstreek region of the Netherlands, commissioned by and operating across six municipalities: Blaricum, Gooise Meren, Hilversum, Huizen, Laren, and Wijdemeren. It delivers a statutory portfolio of public health functions including youth healthcare (Jeugdgezondheidszorg) from birth through age 18, the national Rijksvaccinatieprogramma vaccination schedule, STI/HIV testing and sexual health counseling, infectious disease surveillance, childcare facility inspection (Toezicht Kinderopvang), forensic medicine coordination via GHOR, and parenting support programs using the Triple P methodology.

The core operating model is hybrid service delivery: in-person consultations at consultation bureaus (CJG) and school-based health visits for physical exams, vaccinations, and developmental monitoring, supplemented by digital tools including the free GroeiGids mobile app (developmental tracking, age-based newsletters, anonymous chat Q&A), the MijnJeugdenGezin.nl customer portal for appointment management, and the organizational website ggdgv.nl. There is no proprietary AI/ML or patent portfolio; the underlying technology is standard public health information management, including a digital child dossier for longitudinal health records.

Revenue is generated entirely through municipal government contracts and Dutch national public health program funding — services are provided free of charge to residents. A small fee-for-service revenue stream exists from travel and occupational vaccinations (reisvaccinaties, beroepsvaccinaties). The organization is owned and governed by its six commissioning municipalities, with no parent company in the equity sense and no venture or PE funding history. Recent activity includes a June 2026 public health campaign ('Andere kijk op gezondheid') and ongoing digital ecosystem development through the GroeiGids platform.
