Do you always prioritize locating the nearest restroom? If so, you know how challenging it can be to find public toilets. The Maag Lever Darm Foundation, a trusted authority on digestive health, confirms the Netherlands suffers from a critical shortage of these facilities.
This scarcity particularly affects individuals with digestive tract issues. A dedicated conference on Thursday will explore solutions, including a push for shops and restaurants to open their restrooms to everyone—potentially for a small fee.
Even when public toilets are available, they can be hard to spot. The Hoge Nood app currently maps 5,000 accessible locations nationwide.
