Why and how does the examination proceed in Utrecht?

This applies to conditions such as diabetes, heart failure or sleep apnea. In Utrecht, you complete a Health Declaration via CBR.nl, followed by an appointment with a recognised examining physician, such as at Keuringskliniek Utrecht or local CBR partners in the region.
