The Johanniter Orde of The Netherlands: its history and activities

The Johanniter Orde of The Netherlands was established in 1909 as a Bailliwick of the German Johanniter Orden. In 1946 it became independent of the German Order and, since then, has established and undertaken numerous healthcare programmes in The Netherlands.

Professor Jonkheer Juriy Wladimiroff and Carel van Randwyck, both members of the Johanniter Orde, will provide an overview of both the Order’s development over the last 110 years and its various activities today.

There will be an opportunity for questions at the formal conclusion of the presentation.
