What FAMGB - FBHAV does

FAMGB (Fédération des Associations des Médecins Généralistes de Bruxelles), operating under the legal name asbl FAMGB (company number 0432.556.850), is a non-profit professional association authorized as a bi-communal GP circle (agréation n°117) under Belgian law. Headquartered at Rue de Trèves 49, 1040 Etterbeek/Brussels, the federation aggregates 12 local GP associations and represents more than 1,500 general practitioners across the Brussels-Capital Region, jointly with its Dutch-speaking counterpart BHAK which adds another ~100+ physicians. Its operating revenues are anchored in recurring membership fees from GPs (tied to guard-service and Medeg compliance), supplemented by institutional funding and project-based grants; specific pricing is not publicly disclosed and consultation fees for member GPs are regulated externally by INAMI under the national médico-mutualist agreement.

The organization's core product surface combines (i) a public-facing Doctor Search directory with filtering by location, language, and medical-house affiliation, (ii) the unified Garde Bruxelloise on-call service (GBBW) reachable 24/7 at 02/201.22.22 or 1733, including mobile guard and seven fixed Medical Guard Posts across Brussels, (iii) a directory of affiliated Maisons Médicales (medical houses), (iv) a member-only Espace Médecin portal at doctor.famgb.be for profile and resource management, and (v) continuing education through working commissions with presence tokens. Ancillary outputs include policy publications — Political Memorandum, White Paper on Mental Health, Black Book on Mental Health — distributed via the famgb.be website and a Facebook page (FAMGB.BHAV), in French, Dutch, and English.

Customer reach spans two segments: member GPs (B2B2C, primary revenue via dues and service compliance) and the general public of Brussels (B2C, free access to directory and guard service). Strategic partnerships include BHAK (bi-communal coordination since 2016), GBBW (governance dome for the guard service), Vivalis/COCOM (regulator and health-policy counterpart), Centre Athéna Centrum (joint low-threshold care venture, 2018–2026, now closed), and coalition partners SSMJ, FAGW, GBO/Cartel, CMG, SSMG for joint advocacy.
