The Dutch culture of health

Compared to many other European nations, The Dutch are conservative with respect
to the use of medication. Most medicines, other than simple medication for a cold of
headache, require a doctor’s prescription. Doctors often treat their patients with advice
rather medication. Thus it happens more often that you will be told to go home and
rest and give the body time to heal itself.
