Info

If you are not able to keep your appointment, please inform the doctors via the telephone numbers mentioned above. Should you be too sick to go to the Medical Centre, you can always make an appointment for a house visit by phone. The GP will visit you after consultation hours. As health care is not free, each visit to the GP has to be paid for. If you have proper insurance, you can recover the costs, though some of the medical costs may be charged to the patient personally (see above).

Dental care in Belgium is quite expensive, as only a small percentage of the cost is reimbursed by the health insurer for some treatments. In some cases there is no refund at all! For urgent dental care during the weekend or on public holidays (between 09h00 and 18h00) you can call the “wachtdienst Gent” at the central number 0903 399 690 to find out which dentist is on call. Attention: calls cost 1.50 EUR/minute. For dentists on call, you can also consult the website www.tandarts.be (wachtdienst > wachtdienst in uw buurt).

A list of pharmacies can be found in the section “Apothekers” (pharmacists) of the Golden Pages (www.goldenpages.be/search/Gent/Pharmacist.html). Pharmacies are usually closed on Saturdays and Sundays. A limited number of pharmacists are on duty during the weekend and at night for patients in urgent need of medication. In that case, however, an extra fee will be charged. A list of pharmacists that are on duty at night and in the weekend is displayed at every (closed) pharmacist.
