Welcome to our department
You have been admitted to the haematology department. This department comprises several wards. Hospitalisatie 20 and hospitalisatie 44 are the two hospitalisation wards. Hospitalisatie 20 is an isolation ward, hospitalisatie 44 is a general ward. There is also a ward for day admission: dagziekenhuis 6. The doctors decide on which ward you should be treated.
Today you are admitted to hospitalisatie 20. To make your stay as smooth and pleasant as possible, you will find all the necessary information on this page. We hope this information will be a good guide for you and your family during your stay in our department.
Do you still have questions? Please contact your nurse.
Rooms and sanitary facilities
Hospitalisatie 20 has only single rooms. The room is pressurised to keep germs out as much as possible. We therefore ask you to keep the door to the visitors' corridor closed at all times.
Each room has its own temperature control, which you can adjust according to your needs.
All rooms have their own toilet and washbasin. The ward has a central bathroom where you can take a shower or bath.

Every patient admitted to UZ Leuven can fill in the "Vlaamse Patiëntenpeiling" (Flemish Patient Survey). This can be done via the Octopuz screen at the bedside ('Surveys' button) or via mynexuzhealth (you will receive an invitation via mail and/or in the app after admission). By sharing your experiences at the hospital with us via this survey, you help to improve care and services for all patients.

Additional support - the social workers
Are you worried about your illness, family, work or financial situation? You and your family members can come to the social worker for a confidential discussion.
Together with you, the social worker will look for solutions and give advice on social services to which you are entitled or refer you to external services.
Ask about this with the nurse or call +32 16 34 86 20 yourself.
In need of conversation or a listening ear? Ask for the pastor.
Illness and hospitalisation are often thought-provoking. Do you need a quiet, confidential conversation?
There is a pastor working in the ward who - regardless of your philosophy of life - can lend a listening ear if you are having a difficult time or have life questions.
Ask for a pastor via the nurse.
