Dutch Government Launches Campaign to Offer Free Sunscreen to Citizens

Sunscreen dispensers will be available in schools, universities, parks, sports venues, and public spaces across the country.

The government intends for everyone to have access to sun protection.

The new campaign is inspired by Australia's "slip-slop-slap" campaign and aims to make sunscreen application an unquestioned habit for all citizens.

A skin doctor and a councilor suggest using sanitizer dispensers and encouraging children to use sunscreen from an early age.

Excessive exposure to the sun's UV radiation is the main cause of skin cancer, and sunscreen is essential to protect the skin.
