Healthcare card

In 2024, Care & Youth Caribbean Netherlands (ZJCN) introduced a physical healthcare card on Bonaire, St. Eustatius and Saba. The healthcare card is the replacement of the paper insurance certificate. Previously, you had to collect an insurance certificate from the ZJCN office before travelling abroad. With the introduction of the healthcare card, this is no longer necessary.

What is mentioned on your healthcare card?

  • Your first name, surname, ID number, date of birth and place of residence (Bonaire, St. Eustatius or Saba).
  • The contact details of ZJCN for rapid communication in the event of medical emergencies abroad.

When do you use the healthcare card?

  • In the event of unexpected medical emergencies abroad, where treatment cannot wait until your return to your island. In that case, please contact ZJCN as soon as possible.
  • Locally at GPs, hospitals, pharmacies and laboratories on Bonaire, St. Eustatius and Saba.
