GGD Expo – 125 years of caring for the city

GGD through the years

A historical timeline with many old photos tells the story of the development of GGD Amsterdam through the years. The approach to infant mortality around 1900 and the fight against diseases in the early 1930s are covered. But the approach to drugs and AIDS in the 80s and 90s and the reduction of health inequalities of today also receive attention.

Surprising topics

Stories from GGD employees bring you to the present. They talk about their work, what drives them, and what the Amsterdammer notices of it. Well-known GGD topics such as vaccinations are covered, and especially surprising topics that you might not even have known the GGD does. Think of homeless shelters or help with an unsafe home or sexual violence.
