5/5 World N. 4 years ago on Google
We
was
driving
from
Paris
to
Brussels
and
my
3yo
kid
got
sick,
kind
of
gastroenteritis,
it
was
a
nightmare
during
this
trip.
Someone
recommend
us
UZ
hospital,
we
were
not
sure
what
was
going
to
happen
because
here
in
Canada
(let
say
Quebec,
wish
is
not
Canada)
if
you
are
not
citizen
or
resident
you
have
to
pay
upfront
to
have
the
service
and
then
claim
to
the
insurance
Surprise,
we
found
a
very
nice
people
taking
care
of
the
baby,
they
did
not
ask
for
paying
anything,
the
only
requested
the
insurance
card
and
that
was
all.
Service
was
super-fast
compared
with
Quebec;
we
made
all
the
process
in
2
hours,
nurse,
pediatrician,
blood
test
etc.
Honestly,
this
hospital
is
super
modern,
very
clean
and
people
talk
different
languages.
This
hospital
is
like
a
university
hospital.
Healthcare
in
Belgium
is
composed
of
three
parts.
Firstly
there
is
a
primarily
publicly
funded
healthcare
and
social
security
service
run
by
the
federal
government,
which
organises
and
regulates
healthcare;
independent
private/public
practitioners,
university/semi-private
hospitals
and
care
institutions.
There
are
a
few
(commercially
run
for-profit)
private
hospitals.[1]
Secondly
is
the
insurance
coverage
provided
for
patients.
Finally,
industry
coverage;
which
covers
the
production
and
distribution
of
healthcare
products
for
research
and
development.
The
primary
aspect
of
this
research
is
done
in
universities
and
hospitals.
