History
It was founded in 1975 as a municipal general hospital. It was privatised in July 1997, but was run by a not-for-profit foundation. In 2006 it was sold to Aysel Erbudak, and thereby became the first fully privatised general hospital in the Netherlands. As of 2013 it was owned by Dr Loek Winter.
It produced and supplied heroin to 750 addicts under medical supervision, for which it was paid €3 million a year by the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport (Netherlands). [2]
