Welcome

The University Hospitals Leuven are a network of hospitals on campuses at Gasthuisberg, Lubbeek, Pellenberg, Sint-Pieter and Sint-Rafaël.

The 1,995 beds at the  University Hospitals Leuven make it the largest hospital in the country.

The forward-looking infrastructure at the Gasthuisberg campus provides a fitting environment for high-tech medicine. The centre was designed along the lines of a revolutionary new concept: the complex itself was built around the various functions it was to perform, rather than vice versa and as such integrates all manner of medical and paramedical disciplines seamlessly. In this way, the building complex seamlessly integrates all medical and paramedical disciplines.
