About the H.U.B
A reference centre at international level, located in the heart of the Brussels Region, the Brussels University Hospital provides general, oncological and paediatric care of the very highest quality.
The H.U.B, the ULB's University Hospital
Since 2021, as part of a historic agreement between the City of Brussels and the Université Libre de Bruxelles, the Brussels University Hospital (H.U.B) has grouped the Erasmus Hospital, the Jules Bordet Institute and the Queen Fabiola Children's University Hospital (HUDERF). Thanks to this grouping, the H.U.B. is today the University Hospital of the Université Libre de Bruxelles.
Uniting these three institutions of international renown has served to effectively pool their respective expertise and competence in offering excellent care for all. In addition to this core mission, the H.U.B. pursues scientific research and trains the nurses of the future.
Today the Brussels University Hospital has a staff of close to 6,000, making it one of the biggest employers in Belgium. The Patient's Interests, Respect, Commitment, Solidarity and Inclusion, and Free Inquiry are the values on which it is founded.
