People suffering from serious, life-threatening diseases sometimes need additional support beside the medical examinations and treatments performed by the hospital.
They may then need additional psychological or welfare support, care for the alleviation of pain or other symptoms, help when returning home or in searching for alternative place to stay.
A caring ‘Support Team’ is available to this end. Do not hesitate to contact them, they are there to help you. This service is free.

Who is eligible to call on the Support Team?
Patients, their families, nurses or the consulting physicians can call on the team, which always works closely with the treating doctors and the other carers.

The Support Team can be reached by calling +32 (0)2 477 48 84.
