Why have Surgery in Belgium..
Belgium tops the list in quality of surgery according to a study
by "The World Markets Research Centre", a leading provider of independent business
and industry intelligence. 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.

be seen almost immediately; therefore waiting times for surgery are often just 7
to 14 days.
