Slotervaartziekenhuis was a hospital in the Slotervaart neighbourhood of Amsterdam, the Netherlands. It went into administration in October 2018, and was closed within days.[1]
History
[edit]It was founded in 1975 as a municipal general hospital. It was privatised in July 1997, but was run by a not-for-profit foundation. In 2006 it was sold to Aysel Erbudak, and thereby became the first fully privatised general hospital in the Netherlands. As of 2013 it was[when?] owned by Dr Loek Winter.
It produced and supplied heroin to 750 addicts under medical supervision, for which it was paid €3 million a year by the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport (Netherlands).[2]
