A substantial part of all Dutch people of Turkish and Moroccan origin use healthcare in the country of origin when travelling to their country of origin for a shorter or longer period of time (21% and 10%, respectively). If using care in the country of origin leads to avoidance of care in the Netherlands, this could threaten the continuity of care. We linked data of the HELIUS study to health insurance data. We examined the relationship between healthcare utilisation in the country of origin and the Netherlands, in the period of 2010-2015, adjusting for health status as an indicator of need. Contrary to our expectations, Dutch people of Turkish or Moroccan origin using healthcare consumption in the country of origin utilise more care in the Netherlands than individuals that do not utilize healthcare in the country of origin. Thus, our results do not provide any indication for avoidance of healthcare in the Netherlands among this group of older migrants in the Netherlands.
相当一部分有土耳其和摩洛哥血统的荷兰人，在前往原籍国短期或长期居住时，会在原籍国使用医疗服务（分别为21%和10%）。如果在原籍国使用医疗服务导致在荷兰避免使用医疗服务，这可能会威胁到医疗服务的连续性。我们将HELIUS研究的数据与健康保险数据相链接。我们研究了2010年至2015年期间，原籍国和荷兰的医疗服务利用情况之间的关系，并将健康状况作为需求指标进行了调整。与我们的预期相反，在原籍国使用医疗服务的有土耳其或摩洛哥血统的荷兰人，比在原籍国不使用医疗服务的人在荷兰使用更多的医疗服务。因此，我们的结果没有提供任何迹象表明，在荷兰的这组老年移民中存在避免在荷兰使用医疗服务的情况。
