Social service

Last update: 18/09/2023

Hospitalisation can sometimes feel like a period of turmoil. This feeling does not automatically vanish upon discharge from the hospital, when a patient might feel overwhelmed and powerless on an emotional, relational and social level.

The Europe Hospitals want to accompany the patient, throughout this difficult period, in handling his/her administrative work, financial matters and the continuity of post hospitalisation care. This is why the patient is the main concern of the social service, and we will treat the patient with respect, doing all we can to meet his/her preferences, needs and personal values. The accompaniment is a free and confidential service that can be provided before, during or after the patient’s hospitalisation.

How do I contact the social service

  • By email: social.service@europehospitals.be
  • By phone: 02-614 92 92
  • Through the reception desk at the hospital’s main entrance
  • Through the unit nurse/medical officer
  • Monday to Friday opening hours: from 8.30 am to 4.30 pm, by appointment.

Where can I meet someone from the social service

The interview can take place in the ward or in the social service department itself, depending on the patients’ state of health and preferences.
