The Dutch Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport (VWS) has made significant investments in the digitalization of healthcare in recent years. One of the key initiatives is the Dutch Health Information Council, which oversees the National Health Information Exchange Infrastructure (VIPP) program. This program has received substantial funding aimed at enhancing digital information exchange across healthcare providers to improve patient care and efficiency.

The VWS has allocated hundreds of millions of euros towards various digital health initiatives.

The total was €900mln. The VIPP program itself received an initial investment of 400 million euros, targeting improvements in hospital information systems, patient access to their medical records, and inter-organizational data exchange​. For hospitals (VIPP 1) € 105 mln. For GP's € 75 mln. 

Additionally, the government has set aside €75mln for AI in healthcare and digital innovation, focusing on areas such as telehealth, digital diagnostics, and personalized medicine​. These investments are part of a broader strategy to modernize the healthcare system, making it more resilient and efficient by leveraging technology.

Overall, the VWS's efforts reflect a growing commitment to integrating digital solutions within the healthcare sector, aiming at higher efficiency and population health management.
