UZ Brussels operates on patients with pancreatic cancer without a permit

The University Hospital in Brussels performs operations on patients with pancreatic cancer for which it is not licensed. That’s what ‘De Tijd’ writes. In 2019, then Minister of Health Maggie De Block (Open Vld) decided that only a limited number of hospitals received recognition for these complex procedures, and the Brussels UZ was not among them. However, it now appears that the hospital is ignoring that convention.
