What vzw BRUSANO asbl does

vzw BRUSANO asbl is a Brussels-based non-profit association (asbl/vzw) that coordinates, supports, and connects social-health actors across the Brussels-Capital Region. Founded in 2019 under the Ordonnance of April 4, 2019 as a 'structure d'appui à la première ligne' (primary line support structure), Brusano is publicly mandated to deliver three mission areas: coordination of 5 care and aid basins (Nord, Nord-Est, Sud, Sud-Est, Centre-Ouest) covering all 19 Brussels communes, ambulatory support and coordination, and a palliative care platform. Its primary beneficiaries are social-health professionals — general practitioners, nurses, social workers, psychologists, and caregivers — who face fragmented regional services and complex multidisciplinary care situations.

Brusano's service portfolio is organized around coordination rather than proprietary products. Core services include a Helpdesk & Orientation service, organization of clinical multidisciplinary consultations, basin-level coordination, case management support (with supervision and training), regional health prevention campaigns (deployed with Vivalis and partners), the Focus publication series (topic guides paired with Focus Live webinars), communities of practice, the Perinatality Support Program (including the federal '1000 first days' plan with INAMI-reimbursable prestations), and the 'Place à nos droits!' community outreach initiative. The underlying technology is a social-health coordination platform supported by a bilingual website (brusano.brussels), newsletter, and social media presence; no proprietary software, API, or AI/ML features are disclosed.

The organization is funded primarily through government subsidies from COCOM (Commission communautaire commune) and VGC (Vlaamse Gemeenschapscommissie), with services provided free of charge to social-health professionals. Brusano operates under formal management contracts responding to public mandate requirements while maintaining private-law asbl governance. No revenue, headcount, or funding-round data is publicly disclosed, and the organization is not part of any holding structure.
