Hospitals ...

The hospital system in Belgium is top-notch, something I can personally vouch for. If you need to go to hospital, and it is not life threatening, it is best to get there on your own as an ambulance will be expensive. Once there they will need your ID (passport), medical insurance information along with your overseas and local contact information. They will not ask you for money up front to treat you, but will send you a bill afterwards. Most all doctors speak English and will be able to assist you without problem. Be aware that if you ask for a private room it will cost you more. The two other options are two person and four person rooms. Also, if you use the TV you will be charged for it’s usage, the same goes for the telephone.
