UZ Brussel's Values

At Universitair Ziekenhuis Brussel, the patient is always our highest priority: we respect each patient as a person, without distinguishing by origin, language, social status or religious belief and in keeping with the right self-determination. UZ Brussel is much more than a hospital, since it promotes a tolerant society, the very essence of which is mutual respect. This actively humanistic attitude goes hand in hand with medical expertise based on scientific research and ongoing innovation.
