Sint-Trudo Ziekenhuis

What Sint-Trudo Ziekenhuis does

Sint-Trudo Ziekenhuis is a mid-sized private general hospital headquartered in Sint-Truiden, Belgian Limburg, operating 310 licensed beds with over 1,200 staff and approximately 220 physicians across 27 medical disciplines. Formed in 1991 from the merger of Sint-Annakliniek (1930) and Sint-Jozefziekenhuis (1938), the hospital was consolidated onto a single modernized campus at Diestersteenweg in 2013 and currently offers comprehensive acute, elective, and specialized care spanning emergency medicine, surgery, maternity, oncology, dialysis, rehabilitation, pediatrics, and diagnostics, supplemented by specialized centers for breast, head-neck, and hand conditions. In 2024 the hospital recorded 13,795 inpatient admissions, 33,017 day-hospital patients, 23,952 emergency presentations, 20,696 procedures, and 594 births.

Its core technology layer is the Nexuzhealth electronic patient dossier network, which enables secure cross-hospital record sharing across Flemish partner hospitals, accessed by patients through the MyNexuzHealth web portal and mobile app (iOS/Android, with eID/itsme authentication) and by general practitioners through Nexuzhealth Consult. The hospital is a member of the Andreaz clinical network alongside Jessa Ziekenhuis, az Vesalius, and Sint-Franciscusziekenhuis, and maintains specialty collaborations with UZ Leuven, the Limburg Oncological Center, and PET-infrastructure vzw.

Sint-Trudo generates revenue primarily through reimbursement from the Belgian national health insurance system (INAMI/RIZIV) at official tariff rates for procedures, hospital stays, and consultations, supplemented by patient copayments and ancillary fees such as parking. Its go-to-market is direct-to-consumer: patients access services via 24/7 emergency walk-ins, scheduled outpatient consultations at the main campus and a Landen satellite, GP referrals within the transmural care network, and digital self-service through MyNexuzHealth. The hospital pursues a 'deskundig én dichtbij' (expert and close) positioning emphasizing regional accessibility, holds JCI Gold, BELAC, BFHI, and breast center accreditations, and is reinvesting in a new emergency department and satellite medical center to extend capacity.
