Background: Dutch medical corpora are scarce, limiting NLP development. Methods: We translated English datasets, identified medical text in generic corpora, and extracted open Dutch medical resources. Results: The resulting corpus comprises +- 36 billion tokens across the medical domain in about 105 million documents, freely available on Hugging Face. Conclusion: This work establishes the first large-scale Dutch medical language corpus for pre-training and downstream NLP tasks.
