HUISARTSEN

What HUISARTSEN does

Huisartsen Aaigem is a two-physician general practice (huisartsenpraktijk) operating in the Flemish municipalities of Aaigem and Haaltert, Belgium. Founded in 2018 when Dr. Nele Souffriau and Dr. Magali van Melckebeke took over the practice of Dr. Paul Baetens, it serves local residents across Aaigem, Haaltert, Burst, Groot-Herzele, Erpe-Mere, Heldergem, and Kerksken. As of 2025 the practice operates as a network practice (netwerkpraktijk) with two separate office locations — Dr. Souffriau at Gotegemstraat 19, 9450 Haaltert, and Dr. Van Melckebeke at Frankrot 44, 9420 Aaigem — while maintaining a shared electronic patient dossier and regular clinical consultation between the two physicians.

The practice delivers a comprehensive primary-care service offering: general consultations, blood tests, smear tests, ECG and pre-operative examinations, minor surgery, joint infiltrations, nitrogen cryotherapy for warts and skin lesions, pregnancy monitoring, vaccinations, smoking-cessation counseling, and sports injury treatment (the latter via Dr. Van Melckebeke's sports physician specialization). The underlying technology stack is deliberately minimal: a shared electronic patient record, the mya-agenda.be online booking platform, and a telesecretariat for phone scheduling and urgent matters. There is no proprietary software, no mobile application, and no AI tooling.

Commercially, Huisartsen Aaigem is a bootstrapped, physician-owned partnership with no external investment, parent company, or subsidiaries. Both physicians are conventioned (geconventioneerd) under RIZIV, meaning fees are set by the Belgian national health insurance system and partially reimbursed to patients. A partial patient intake stop is currently in force, with new registrations restricted to residents of Aaigem and Heldergem without a family doctor. The practice is regulated by the Orde der artsen and operates under the Belgian Code of medical deontology.

Broad incumbents

• HealthOne: Belgian EMR system used by a large share of Flemish huisartsen for shared patient dossiers. Directly comparable on the shared electronic medical record technology that Huisartsen Aaigem cites as a core operational feature.
• Centric Healthcare Belgium: Major Belgian healthcare IT vendor supplying EMR, practice management, and administrative systems used by many Belgian GP practices. Comparable as the broader software/infrastructure layer that practices like Huisartsen Aaigem rely on.

Emerging players

• Doktr: Belgian digital GP consultation platform offering video and remote consultations to patients. Comparable as an alternative primary care delivery model in Belgium, though it competes for patient attention rather than clinical services like minor surgery or sports medicine.
• Doctolib: European online booking and practice-management platform widely adopted by Belgian GPs (Huisartsen Aaigem uses mya-agenda.be, a similar regional service). Comparable on appointment scheduling, tele-secretariat functionality, and primary care workflow digitization rather than direct clinical competition.

Direct peers

• Medisch Centrum Huisartsen (various Belgian group practices): Belgian federation representing huisartsen group practices. Most comparable as direct peers — other two-to-several physician GP practices in Flanders operating under the same RIZIV conventioned reimbursement framework and serving similar local catchments.

Regional players

• Wijkgezondheidscentra (Community Health Centers): Federation of Belgian community health centers providing multidisciplinary primary care in specific neighborhoods. Comparable as alternative primary care delivery models operating in the same Belgian market and serving similar patient populations.
