Belgium is recognised for its robust healthcare system, yet disparities in access, health literacy, and financial resilience persist. In our Health Insurance Report, we delve into critical topics such as mental health, generational shifts in expectations, and the growing need for transparent communication, outlining how we can build a healthier and more equitable future for all Belgians.

Key findings include:
With an understanding of the challenges and opportunities, all stakeholders (such as insurance companies, hospitals, mutual health funds, and government) can work together to further enhance our healthcare system and empower all individuals to take charge of their own wellbeing. The report includes concrete recommendations for collaboration and next steps.
