Health

Why a Health Programme? 

Health care and support in Belgium are generally accessible and effectively organised, but they do not always improve people’s quality of life and well-being. We are convinced that an innovative perspective and a new approach to this area will benefit both people who use the health care system and the system itself.  The Health Programme is ready to take on that challenge. 

What do we do? 

Working from a position of independence, the King Baudouin Foundation can provide space, resources and expertise in areas where other actors can find this more difficult.  

We offer a range of philanthropic tools, including financial support for projects, education, networking, knowledge sharing, advocacy and more.   

We seek out unmet needs, inspire people and bring them together, and give a voice to those who are often unheard.  

We work with all stakeholders to build a system of health care and support that has the strongest possible commitment to quality of life. 

Key areas of the Health Programme 

  • Health care and support start from the life goals people set for themselves. 

  • Health care and support are accessible to all, especially people in vulnerable situations.   

  • Health care and support go hand in hand at every stage in a person’s life. 

  • Formal and informal caregivers must also receive the care and support they need. 

  • Research and innovation start from unmet health needs and concerns
