What ASZ does

AZORG Ziekenhuizen is a Belgian non-profit, multi-campus regional hospital network formed on January 1, 2025 through the merger of A.S.Z. (Algemeen Stedelijk Ziekenhuis) and OLV Ziekenhuis. Headquartered in Aalst and operating six campuses across five Flemish cities (Aalst, Asse, Geraardsbergen, Ninove, Wetteren) plus medical centers in Lessen and Opwijk, the network delivers the full spectrum of secondary hospital care: 24/7 emergency services, ambulatory consultations, day admissions, inpatient hospitalizations, and specialty services spanning orthopedics/traumatology, urology, pneumology, breast care (Borstkliniek AZORG), and a multidisciplinary Spine Unit, alongside palliative, psychological, spiritual, and social support services.

The technology stack is built around the Nexuzhealth platform partnership: Nexuzhealth powers the Mijn dossier patient portal (accessed via eID or MyNexuzHealth code card), the Nexuzhealth Consult module for general-practitioner coordination, and the underlying clinical dossier layer. Extending care beyond the hospital walls, AZORG operates transmural offerings — AZORG @ Home for home-based hospital-level care and Telemonitoring for remote vital-sign monitoring — which integrate the same dossier backbone with primary-care workflows. No proprietary AI/ML, APIs, mobile apps, or SDKs are disclosed; digital capabilities are conventional health-IT.

The business model is hospital healthcare services delivered on a per-service basis: consultation fees, day admission charges, inpatient hospitalization costs, emergency service fees, and advance-payment/deposit mechanics, with publicly disclosed pricing pages and hospital insurance information. Customer segments are patients (general public) as the primary segment, supported by general practitioners as referral partners and medical students/researchers via internships and ethics committee supervision. The go-to-market relies on regional physical presence, GP referral networks, multi-channel community engagement (social, email, on-site events), and recognized clinical quality validated by an external trauma-care audit and a Belgian Minister of Health visit in 2026. Governance is collegial, with a Board of Directors (Bestuursorgaan), Executive Committee (Directiecomité), and Medical Council (Medische Raad), consistent with Belgian non-profit hospital structures.
