Belgian health policy

Belgian health policy ensures access to comprehensive healthcare through a mix of public funding, social insurance, and private services. It guarantees that residents can receive medical care, hospital services, and medications, with costs mostly covered by mandatory health insurance contributions. The system emphasizes quality, equity, and prevention, with efforts to reduce disparities and promote healthy lifestyles. Coordination among federal and regional authorities manages healthcare delivery, financing, and regulations, aiming for sustainability and responsiveness to population needs while maintaining universal coverage for all residents.
