Belgium
tops the list in quality of surgery, clinical
standards and after care - and medical staff
speak English! The World Markets Research
Centre, a leading provider of independent
business and industry intelligence, recently
conducted a study of the Health of Nations.
Belgium topped the 175-country list with an
impressive 98 points. Perhaps it is because
of the fact that Belgium has the highest number
of hospitals and universities, as well as
doctors per capita, that the system is largely
independent which creates an extensive competitive
environment. This coupled with the many years
of expert training received by doctors and
surgeons gives 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 Equipement
Belgian
hospitals and clinics independent status
means that revenues and profits are ploughed
back into new equipment, this facilitates
a purchasing budget envied by clinics
elsewhere.
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 accommodated in twin bedded rooms
with en suite facilities and multi channel
TV with English programmes. "Patients
enjoy levels of comfort and privacy often
denied them in the UK" Daily Mail.
