A more complete approach

Your weight is personal. Your care should be too.

Weight is shaped by a combination of biology, metabolism, medical history, everyday habits and life circumstances. There is no single solution that fits everyone.

Our Weight Management Program combines evidence-informed medical care with the practical support needed for sustainable change. We take the time to understand your situation, explore your options and build a plan together.

PILLAR 01

Mental wellbeing
& habits

Understand routines, motivation and the relationship with food — without blame, judgement or unrealistic expectations.

PILLAR 02

Nutrition that
fits your life

Personalised advice from a certified nutritionist experienced with GLP-1 treatment. Your first two nutrition consultations are included when you enrol.

PILLAR 03

Movement
& strength

Practical, achievable steps to support activity, muscle health and physical wellbeing — at a pace that suits you.

Modern medical treatment

More than a diet.
More than a prescription.

For some patients, prescription medication can be an appropriate part of medically supervised weight management. Your IHCH doctor will review your health, discuss expected benefits and possible risks, and help determine whether treatment is suitable for you.

Medication is prescribed only after an individual medical assessment; it is not suitable for everyone and is never guaranteed.

Medical suitability first

A doctor considers your history, current medication, health priorities and individual risk factors.

Quality & safe use

When medication is prescribed, our on-site pharmacy can arrange dispensing and guidance on proper use.

Ongoing clinical reviews

Your doctor monitors progress, tolerability and side effects, adjusting the plan where appropriate.

Your journey, clearly explained

A considered plan.
One step at a time.

From the first conversation to ongoing reviews, you will know what happens next — and who is there to help.

Good questions deserve clear answers

Frequently asked questions.

Considering the programme, or already receiving care? Find practical answers here. Your IHCH team is always available for questions about your personal situation.

Who is the programme for?
The programme is intended for adults who would benefit from structured medical support with weight management. Suitability is assessed individually, considering your weight-related health, medical history and personal goals. The programme and medication options are not appropriate for everyone.
Is the first appointment really free?
Yes. Your initial 30-minute medical consultation is complimentary, whether or not you choose to join the programme. Any measurements or other planned services and their costs can be clarified with the team when booking.
Where can I find medication names and package prices?
The medication and programme fee overview shows the currently listed programme fees. Your doctor will assess whether medication is medically suitable for your situation. Prices and package terms should always be confirmed with our team.
Will medication be part of my treatment?
It may be, if your doctor considers it clinically appropriate. Prescription options, benefits, limitations, side effects and alternatives are discussed during the consultation. Any medication is prescribed on an individual basis and monitored by your doctor.
What happens at the medical consultation?
An IHCH medical assistant will first arrange relevant measurements. Your doctor then discusses your health, prior approaches to weight management, current medications, expectations and suitable next steps. There is time for your questions.
What is included in the price?
The first two consultations with a certified nutritionist are included in the programme fee: a 45-minute initial appointment and a 30-minute follow-up. Your programme also combines medical assessment and follow-up with your individual treatment plan. Any prescribed medication, pharmacy arrangements and additional costs are explained before enrolment.
Are both nutritionist consultations included in my programme?
Yes. When you enrol in the IHCH Weight Management Program, your first two nutrition consultations are included at no separate charge: a 45-minute initial consultation and a 30-minute follow-up. If further nutrition appointments are recommended, the team will explain their cost before booking.
Can my insurance reimburse the programme?
Coverage depends on your individual health insurance policy and medical indication. Not all weight-management services or prescriptions are reimbursed. Please check directly with your insurer; our team can explain the relevant costs and documentation available.
How often will I see the doctor?
Follow-up consultations generally last 15 minutes. During the first six months, medical reviews are usually monthly, with the frequency adjusted according to your health, response and treatment plan. The schedule can become less frequent once stable.
Will someone show me how to use injectable medication?
Yes, when an injectable treatment is prescribed. Your clinician will discuss its use, and the IHCH Pharmacy can provide practical guidance or a demonstration. Always follow the instructions for your specific prescribed product.
What if I miss a dose, experience side effects or plan to travel?
The correct advice depends on your particular prescription. Follow the patient leaflet for missed doses and storage, and contact your clinical team or pharmacist if you are uncertain. Do not double a dose or change your treatment without medical advice. For travel, ask about storage requirements well before departure.
What symptoms should prompt medical advice?
Contact a healthcare professional promptly for significant or worsening symptoms, such as severe or persistent abdominal pain, repeated vomiting or difficulty keeping fluids down. Do not wait for a routine appointment. For urgent out-of-hours GP care, call Hadoks on +31 (0)70 346 96 69. For life-threatening emergencies, call 112.
Where do appointments take place?
At International Health Centre The Hague, Jan van Nassaustraat 125, 2596 BS The Hague. Please report to the Health Checks & Lifestyle Reception, second floor. We will provide any special arrival instructions when confirming your appointment.
How do I book or change an appointment?
