Hospital’s Mission:
The Sint Maartenskliniek is the only specialised hospital for orthopaedics, rheumatology, rehabilitation and pain treatment in The Netherlands. Being acknowledged as the leading hospital for movement-related healthcare, it serves as a nationwide secondary or tertiary referral center for complex pathologies, as well as a regional hospital addressing simpler musculoskeletal issues.

Our primary objective revolves around enhancing patients' mobility and functionality, thereby enabling their active participation in everyday activities. Collaborating closely with our patients, we are dedicated to find the best suitable solution. We systematically quantify the result of our work, allowing us to showcase our value and consistently drive enhancements.
