The GP Finder, an initiative by the Scheldekracht GP Association, assists residents of Laarne, Lochristi, Merelbeke-Melle, Wetteren, and Wichelen in finding a new general practitioner.

Finding a new GP can be challenging, especially as more practices implement patient stops. The new online tool huisartszoeker.be offers a solution. By simply entering an address, users can see which GP practices in their vicinity are still accepting new patients. Contact details are readily available, significantly simplifying the process.
This initiative is a collaboration between the Scheldekracht GP Association and the municipalities of Laarne, Lochristi, Merelbeke-Melle, Wetteren, and Wichelen, who support the project.
