Dataset is not available.


This table contains figures on the absolute number of persons to whom in the year concerned medicines were dispensed for which the costs are reimbursed under the statutory basic medical insurance. Also, the number of dispensed defined daily doses (DDDs) are presented. The figures are also expressed as a percentage of the total population in the category concerned. The population includes everybody registered in the Basic Registration of Persons (BRP) and living in the Netherlands at some point in the year concerned. Until 2010 the figures also included medicines dispensed to persons registered in the BRP, but no longer resident in the Netherlands.
Medicines provided to persons in hospitals and nursing homes are not included; medicines provided in residential homes for the elderly are included.

Data are broken down by medicine group, origin, age and sex.

Data available from 2020.

Description topics

Persons with medicines, relative
Number of persons to whom medicines are dispensed in the year concerned that are reimbursed under the statutory basic medical insurance, expressed as a percentage of the total population of the category concerned registered in the Basic Registration of Persons (BRP) in that year.
Defined daily doses (DDD), relative
Defined Daily Dose (DDD) is de door de WHO vastgestelde gemiddelde dagelijkse dosis van een geneesmiddel, wanneer het geneesmiddel wordt ingezet voor de hoofdindicatie, bij een onderhoudsbehandeling voor volwassenen. Deze definitie maakt het mogelijk om het gebruik van verschillende toedieningsvormen en verschillende middelen met elkaar te vergelijken.
