Royal Dutch Medical Association
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Royal Dutch Medical Association (In Dutch Koninklijke Nederlandsche Maatschappij tot bevordering der Geneeskunst or KNMG) is the professional organisation for medical practitioners in the Netherlands. It was formed in 1999 by an association of the National Association of salaried Doctors (LAD), the National Association of General Practitioners (LHV), the Dutch Association for Occupational Health (NVAB), the Dutch Association for Nursing Home Physicians (NVVA), the Dutch Association of Insurance Medicine (NVVG), the Dutch Order of Medical Specialists (OMS) and a small group of individual KNMG members. Its membership in 2008 was 40,000 doctors.
Its headquarters is located in Utrecht at:
- Domus Medica
- Mercatorlaan 1200
- 3528 BL Utrecht
It can trace a history back to 1849. The Association began a library in the field of the history of medicine in the Netherlands in that year. In 1855, the Association's library collection was loaned to the keeping of the University of Amsterdam. This collection is, for its field, the largest in the world and has a high degree of completeness.
