Cliniques universitaires Saint-Luc

What Cliniques universitaires Saint-Luc does

Cliniques universitaires Saint-Luc is a private, non-profit university hospital founded in 1976 in Woluwe-Saint-Lambert, Brussels, Belgium (Belgian company registration 0416.885.016). It operates approximately 1,000 licensed beds and a workforce of roughly 6,000 collaborators across 150+ professions and 300 clinical services, serving as the principal teaching hospital affiliated with UCLouvain (Université catholique de Louvain). The institution functions as a regional reference center for the Belgian French-speaking population, delivering primary through quaternary care with particular strength in oncology, cardiology, psychiatry, rare diseases, hepatic transplantation, and refractory epilepsy surgery.

The hospital runs an Epic-based clinical information system (TPI²) integrated with two principal digital portals: Mon Saint-Luc (a patient-facing web and MyChart mobile portal for records, appointments, results, and care-team communication) and Saint-Luc Pro (a secure portal for external physicians to consult records, receive notifications, and coordinate referrals). These portals are linked to broader Belgian and Brussels health-IT infrastructure, including the Réseau Santé Bruxellois (Abrumet), eHealthBox, DMI, Itsme for identity verification, and direct-billing integrations with AssurCard and DKV Medi-Card. Specialized institutes under the hospital umbrella include Institut Roi Albert II (oncology and hematology), Institut de Psychiatrie, Institut des Maladies Rares, Institut Cardiovasculaire, and Le Roseau (patient/family accommodation).

Revenue is generated principally through the Belgian social security system (mutuelles and supplementary insurance) under regulated public-hospital pricing, supplemented by international patient and medical tourism services coordinated via a dedicated desk, and by donations channeled through the Fondation Saint-Luc. The ongoing Reconstruction de Saint-Luc program — running into the early 2030s — is rebuilding and renovating the campus on site while maintaining full operations. In 2026 alone, the hospital recorded multiple first-in-Europe and world-first clinical milestones, reinforcing its positioning as a tertiary and quaternary referral center.
