A child has a long way to go from birth to adulthood. And because a child is not a small adult, his or her health requires special attention and proper care. You can count on the help of specialists for this.
· The main Brussels hospitals have a children's ward. All information about these wards and everything you need to know about the hospitalisation of a child under the age of 16 can be found on the Hospichild website.
· There is no complete list of all paediatricians in the Brussels-Capital Region. It is best to contact your general practitioner for this. They will give you advice and can recommend a good paediatrician.
· The Queen Fabiola Children's University Hospital (HUDERF/UKZKF) is the only Belgian university hospital that caters exclusively for children. Here, children can rely on the most complete care, ranging from tooth decay right through to heart surgery.
· You can also find useful information under 'Vaccinations' on this website
· Kind en Gezin offers advice and consultations for infants and small children. You can also go there for information about child health, childcare, help in difficult situations and education.
· The Office of Birth and Childhood (ONE) is responsible for the support of small children and families in the French Community (website only available in French). This office can be contacted for preventive medicine, health promotion and the follow-up of the development of children from 0 to 6. The addresses of the ONE consultation centres can be found on the website.
