The Hague-based pro-euthanasia group NVVE, is coordinating the service. The teams, comprising at least a doctor and a nurse, will euthanise patients by administering a strong sedative to put them in a coma followed by a drug to stop breathing.
NVVE said in a statement the service would involve six teams targeting "borderline cases in which family GPs are reluctant to administer euthanasia".
