About Bo Dòkter
Bo Dòkter was built to help the people of Curaçao with understandable health information and a clear route to suitable care.
The aim
Making health information easier to find and understand
Health questions can cause uncertainty. Bo Dòkter brings clear information about symptoms and conditions, emergency numbers and healthcare providers on Curaçao together in one place. This helps visitors prepare, recognise signs earlier and contact a suitable healthcare professional more effectively.
Who is Bo Dòkter for?
The website is for residents of Curaçao and anyone looking for reliable, practical health information or a healthcare provider on the island. Family members and informal carers can also use the explanations to help someone.
What can you find here?
- information about symptoms, conditions and self-care;
- guidance on when and where to seek medical help;
- the main emergency numbers for Curaçao;
- a care directory with local healthcare providers;
- practical information about matters such as the SVB card.
Social purpose
Built to help, without a commercial motive
Bo Dòkter was not built for commercial gain. Its purpose is to help and inform the people of Curaçao. A listing of a healthcare provider, organisation, treatment or product is purely informative and is not a recommendation, ranking or guarantee of care quality.
An important limit
General information, not a personal diagnosis
Bo Dòkter is an information website, not a GP, hospital, pharmacy, health insurer or regulator. The information does not take your full medical situation into account and does not replace personal examination, diagnosis or treatment.
Consult your own GP for personal medical questions. For a possible threat to life, call Ambulance 912. For urgent GP care outside office hours, call HAP 9252.
