RIVM PIENTER 4

Nationwide medical fieldwork support.

OCRE Medical Services supports the fourth PIENTER study commissioned by the Dutch National Institute for Public Health and the Environment. This nationwide study examines how well people in the Netherlands are protected against infectious diseases and also considers the relationship between health and the living environment.

THE CHALLENGE

Medical competence at national scale.

PIENTER 4 involves home visits across the Netherlands with participants of different ages. Qualified field professionals must plan and conduct visits, collect and register biological samples according to strict procedures, and ensure that materials are transported or stored correctly on the same day. The programme therefore requires medical competence, national reach, reliable planning and disciplined regional logistics.

OCRE'S CONTRIBUTION

Workforce and operational coordination.

Project status

Mobilisation and training began in 2026. The initial assignment runs for thirteen months, with the possibility of extensions, and supports fieldwork across all Dutch provinces.
