Psychiatric hospitals
A psychiatric hospital offers treatment and care for patients with severe mental problems.
The Department of Care recognises the psychiatric hospitals in Flanders and one psychiatric hospital in the Brussels-Capital Region. A psychiatric hospital offers treatment and care for patients with severe mental problems. The hospitals have specialised units for this.
The implementation and monitoring of compulsory admission to a psychiatric hospital comes entirely under the authority of the Flemish Care Inspectorate (Dutch: Zorginspectie).
You can find further information on psychiatric hospitals(opens in new window) on the Department of Care website.
