Why have Surgery in Belgium..

The results of the independent study on the "Health of Nations" found that Belgium topped the 175-country list with an impressive 98 points. Perhaps it is due to Belgium having the highest number of doctors, hospitals and universities per capita. Belgian surgeons and doctors undergo many years of expert training, places in university are relatively rare, creating a competitive environment where the brightest and most skilled individuals endure. Both French and English medical methodologies are studied giving levels of expertise envied by other healthcare systems.
