Am I obliged to get my treatment at your hospital if I come for a consultation?

Certainly not. You are always welcome to come to our consultation for a (second) advice. Some treatments can also simply be given in a hospital near you. This is the case for the standard treatments that are approved and reimbursed in Belgium. In the future, you are still welcome to come to our consultation for advice or questions related to your illness or treatment. At each visit, we will check again whether you would be eligible for any ongoing clinical trials.

Some specific treatments, e.g. study treatments, or certain (surgical) procedures are only possible in our hospital. So you cannot get these closer to home. This will always be discussed with you. A treatment option closer to home will also always be discussed, if available, and you will always be free to choose your own treatment.
