Care

Who will you meet during your stay? When are blood samples taken? How do we conduct scientific research through residual material and tissues? What about organ donation?

Staff

All UZ Leuven employees wear a badge with their name and photograph. The colour of the badge indicates the type of job of that staff member.

Blood samples

The physician may take a blood sample before your procedure to check whether your blood is contagious to the care providers involved (e.g. hepatitis or AIDS). If you do not want us to take any blood samples, please inform your physician in good time. Please inform your physician if you are aware you are carrying an infectious disease.

Academic research

In addition to patient care and training, academic research is another core task of a teaching hospital. The purpose of such academic research is to improve our knowledge of illness and health, and to gain new insights that will eventually lead to new or better treatments for patients.
