Alkmaar Hospital 'Shocked' by Former Doctor Suspected of Sexual Abuse
On 2026-09-08, the Noordwest Hospital Group responded to allegations against a former doctor, a 66-year-old anesthesiologist from Bergen, suspected of sexually abusing children in the Philippines. The hospital, with main locations in Alkmaar and Den Helder, stated it was unaware of the case and that the doctor had left earlier for unrelated personal reasons after over 25 years of service. According to the Public Prosecution Service, the doctor allegedly watched the abuse of at least four, possibly five, girls via webcam. He was arrested in May 2026 following a report from a U.S. organization.
