Learning_Life_BELooking for some advice on the best hospital in Brussels for an emergency. Checked a few websites but the info is all very generic and not sure which one has better patient care or better service. Any tips based on your own experiences?
Accepted answer
polder_pioneer2Depending on what the problem is, things change.
Saint-Luc is what most people here trust most.
Delta is great because the facilities are super modern although it can be a bit pricey.
Go to Gasthuisberg for anything really specialized or tricky.
In my experience the staff at Sint-Jan speak good English and are very helpful for non-french speakers.
newbie_notes2Some people say Etterbeek-Ixelles is quite slow and care isn't great - plus some had bad experiences with maternity at St. Elisabeth.
Discovery_JourneyBrugmann has a bit of a bad reputation even though I know some people had successful surgery there!
bxl_property_guyDelta was much better than Etterbeek-Ixelles for an emergency last year (the wait times were much shorter!)

wait_and_see2Doctors doing the delivery are often just the one on duty rather than your specific gynecologist (it happens more than you think).
