Core offering

Eerstelijnszone Gent vzw is a Flemish government-recognized primary care zone that coordinates first-line healthcare delivery across 14 districts of Ghent (postal codes 9000-9052). It functions as a regional convener and network hub for general practitioners, nurses, pharmacists, physiotherapists, psychologists, social workers, and other allied health professionals, offering interprofessional training, network meetings, webinars, and the Sociale Kaart (Social Map) online directory of healthcare and welfare providers. The organization also delivers population-specific programs, including perinatal support, autism guidance (Autiwijzer with Liga Autisme Vlaanderen), youth care navigation, and goal-oriented care training (with Arteveldehogeschool).

Product overview

Eerstelijnszone Gent vzw operates as a primary care coordination organization rather than a technology product company. Their core offerings include the Sociale Kaart (Social Map), a searchable directory of healthcare and welfare providers in Ghent, combined with various specialized programs addressing specific populations such as perinatal care, autism support (Autiwijzer), youth services, and goal-oriented care training. The organization functions as a network hub connecting healthcare professionals, social workers, and residents rather than offering a unified software platform.

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Ontario Health Teams (Ontario, Canada): Provincial program grouping providers and community organisations into geographically-defined teams responsible for coordinating care, navigation, and population-health management for attributed residents — comparable to the regional coordination mandate of Eerstelijnszone Gent.
• Santé Publique France: French national public-health agency coordinating population-health, prevention, and provider-support functions across regions — broader in scope but operating with a comparable mission of supporting first-line professionals and vulnerable populations through coordination rather than direct care delivery.
• Fédération des Maisons Médicales (Belgium): Federation representing Belgian French-speaking maisons médicales — multidisciplinary primary-care and health-coordination organisations analogous in mission to Flemish eerstelijnszones, funded through INAMI and regional mechanisms, providing interprofessional care, mental-health support, and community health promotion.
• NHS Primary Care Networks (England): Network of English primary-care networks (PCNs) under NHS England that group GP practices and community providers to deliver coordinated first-line care, population health, and interprofessional working — structurally analogous to Flemish eerstelijnszones in mandate and operating logic.

Regional players

• GGD Amsterdam (Amsterdam Public Health Service): Dutch municipal public-health body executing comparable regional coordination of preventive care, youth health, and interprofessional provider support for residents of Amsterdam — analogous role to Eerstelijnszone Gent but at larger municipal scale.
• ROS Friesland (Regionale Ondersteuningsstructuur): Dutch regional support structure that coordinates and trains first-line healthcare providers in Friesland under a similar framework to the Flemish eerstelijnszones, providing interprofessional training, eHealth support, and primary-care network facilitation.

Direct peers

• Eerstelijnszone Westhoek: Peer Flemish eerstelijnszone covering the Westhoek sub-region, sharing the same vzw structure, Flemish funding line, and mission of coordinating first-line providers and supporting vulnerable populations.
• Eerstelijnszone Kempen: Peer Flemish primary-care zone operating in the Kempen region under the same Vlaamse overheid eerstelijnszone mandate, executing the identical coordination, training, and Sociale Kaart-related functions across its own multi-municipal catchment.
• Eerstelijnszone Antwerpen: Peer Flemish primary-care zone covering the city of Antwerp under the same policy framework, offering directly comparable coordination, training, and Sociale Kaart-related activities for a large urban catchment.
• Eerstelijnszone Leuven: Peer Flemish primary-care zone serving the Leuven region with the same erkend status, government funding model, and core mandate of interprofessional coordination across GPs, pharmacists, social workers, and mental-health providers.
