Route

The Health Council is located in the Ministry of Health, Welfare & Sport building at Parnassusplein 5, The Hague.

By train

The Hague CS (Central Station) is the terminus for trains from Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Utrecht and Zoetermeer. From the Central Station, follow the sign for the ‘Ministerie van VWS’. Walk under the Ministry of Housing, Spatial Planning & the Environment (VROM). Across the bridge, turn right on to Zwarteweg. After about 30 metres, turn left on to Parnassusplein. The main entrance to the Ministry of Health, Welfare & Sport (VWS) is on the right-hand side of this square.

By bus/tram

Many trams, urban buses and inter-urban buses stop at the Central Station, as do two “interliners” (380 and 382). From Den Haag CS, follow the pedestrian route to the city centre (see “By train”).
