Privacy and your patient record

UZ Leuven keeps a single, central record for every patient, across all specialisms. This record is fully electronic and is drawn up by physicians, nurses and paramedics. Read more about who uses your record, the advantages of a single record and how you can get access to your own record.

Medical data is invaluable for the development of new treatments, scientific breakthroughs, and safe, quality care. In certain cases, you may object to the reuse of your data through an 'opt-out'.

UZ Leuven attaches great importance to protecting the privacy of those who come into direct contact with the hospital. We would like to explain to you how UZ Leuven handles your personal data when it is responsible for its processing.

UZ Leuven wants to create a safe environment for its patients, visitors and staff. To this end, our internal security service uses surveillance cameras, among others.
