[[dct:title::Belgium]]'s healthcare system is a compulsory, social health insurance system. It operates under a model that combines both public and private sectors, with a blend of universal coverage and income-based premiums.
The system is managed by the Ministry of Health at the national level, composed of the Federal Public Service for Health, Food Chain Safety, and Environment, and by regional governments in Flanders, Wallonia, and Brussels-Capital. Health insurance funds, known as "mutualities," are responsible for the management of the social health insurance system.
The Belgian population receives a wide range of healthcare benefits through the system, including primary care, specialist care, hospital care, mental health services, dental care, maternity care, rehabilitation services, and prescription medications. Preventive care and health promotion services are also provided. There is no gatekeeping system in place.
All Belgian residents are required to join a health insurance fund, which is typically linked to their employment or their family's employment. Access to healthcare benefits is granted upon registration with a health insurance fund, and coverage extends to dependents as well. The system is funded by income-based contributions from employees, employers, and the government, ensuring comprehensive coverage for all citizens.
Belgium has implemented a nationwide electronic health record (EHR) system called eHealth. This platform securely centralizes patients' medical records, allowing healthcare providers to access and update relevant information. Data from insurance claims, registries, and other sources is also collected and stored in the eHealth system, which aims to improve the overall efficiency and quality of care while maintaining patient privacy.
