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.

No Waiting Lists ..

Flexibility built into the Belgian system means that patients can be seen almost immediately; therefore waiting times for surgery are often just 7 to 14 days.


Quality of Surgery ..

Excellent training standards coupled with the best and latest equipment ensure that quality of surgery is some of the best in the world.



Most Up-To-Date Equipment ..

Belgian hospitals and clinics independent status means that revenues and profits are ploughed back into new equipment, this facilitates a purchasing budget envied by hospitals worldwide.

Secondary Infection Rates ..

Belgian secondary infection rates average less than 0.05%; in the UK they are averaging 10% and in some areas increasing. Belgium's spotlessly clean hospitals and theatres have no significant problems of secondary infections and cases of MRSA are non-existent.

Comfort ..

Patients are normally accommodated in twin bedded rooms with en suite facilities and multi channel TV with English programs "Patients enjoy levels of comfort and privacy often denied them in the UK" Daily Mail.
