Primary Care Physicians on Bonaire, Locally Called “House Doctors”

House doctors on Bonaire.

Primary care physicians are called “house doctors” on Bonaire.  Once you have registered as a resident and have your sedula, you can visit the doctor’s office of choice and register to be a patient.  House doctors are the first contact for any illnesses, accidents, or other situations requiring a doctor’s care unless the situation is urgent.

Generally, one can transfer their house doctor’s registration to another physician quarterly.  If you wish to change your registered house doctor, check with the office of ZJCN, the island’s health service administrator.
