Children's hospital

A team of UZ Leuven doctors has recently replaced all abdominal organs in a toddler for the first time in Belgium: stomach, liver, pancreas as well as the small intestine were transplanted in one procedure. The young patient was successfully operated on and is doing well.

In April 2020 the children's hospital launched the #kunstuitmijnkamer project (art from my room). More than 100 children took the chance to express their feelings, thoughts and imagination during corona times on a canvas. Their attractive creations are now being exhibited in the hospital and online.
