The general practitioner at the hospital in Hengelo may close from July. An investigation is currently being carried out into the closure, because the night shifts would cause a considerable workload for the GPs on duty. If the closure continues, residents of Northeast Twente, Hengelo, Borne and a large part of the municipality of Hof van Twente will soon have to go to the emergency post in Enschede or Almelo for urgent care.
