Dagziekenhuis 10

Welcome to our ward

At Dagziekenhuis 10, you can undergo apheresis. This is the umbrella term for several procedures in which a blood component (e.g. platelets, plasma, or stem cells) is removed, exchanged, or collected.

The main activities performed here are:

Stem cell collection: collecting stem cells from the blood.
Leukapheresis (white blood cell collection): collecting white blood cells.
Plasmapheresis: separating the plasma from the blood cells and removing it to eliminate a harmful substance from the blood.
Red blood cell exchange: separating red blood cells from the blood to remove and replace them with donor red blood cells.

On this page, you’ll find general information about the day hospital (contact, location and accessibility), followed by more specific information per procedure. We hope this will help guide you and make your visit as smooth as possible.

Directions and services

You can park in Parking West. This car park is most easily accessible via the E314, exit 16 (Gasthuisberg). Follow the signs for "P West" on the ring road.
This is a fully underground car park. Please check whether your vehicle meets the access conditions.
Parking is free for the first 30 minutes. After that, a reduced parking rate applies: the care rate. Take a ticket upon entry and validate it at the registration kiosk or at the reception desk of the day hospital in oncology. You can pay at the payment machine in the car park. If you experience issues with the care rate that applies to you, keep your proof of payment and present it during your next visit.
You can also use a weekly pass or a 10-entry card (valid for one year) to park at a discounted rate. Read more here about the healthcare rate, weekly pass, and 10-entry card.
Patients can be dropped off or picked up at the kiss-and-ride zone. The ticket you receive upon entry is also used when leaving. You do not need to go to the payment machine. You may briefly leave your vehicle (max. 30 minutes) to accompany a patient.
Wheelchairs are available in this car park for use within the hospital. Always return the wheelchair after use.
