1. Undertaking of accessibility The HUDERF hospital undertakes to make its website accessible in accordance with the Belgian law of 19 July 2018 transposing European Directive 2016/2102 on the accessibility of the websites and mobile applications of public sector bodies. This accessibility statement applies to the website: https://www.erasme.be/en  2. Compliance status The website is partially compliant with European standard EN 301 549 due to the non-compliances listed hereunder. 3. Non-accessible content The problems identified at the time of automatic audits are the following:3.1 Non-compliances – Colour contrast (WCAG 1.4.3)Numerous text elements present an insufficient colour contrast in regard to the minimum requirements (4.5:1 for normal text, 3:1 for large text). The elements concerned are:Principal navigation links ("About", "News", "Press", "My HUB", "Jobs")Action buttons ("Emergencies”, "My appointments", "Patients and loved ones", "Professional Space")“See all news” link and “All events” link”“Make a donation” linkNews dates  (<time> elements)Subheading text (span) on hero blocks/highlightingLinks to social networks (Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube)3.2 Non-compliances – Accessible names and labels (WCAG 4.1.2)Several interactive elements do not have a name that is accessible for assistance technologies:Close button (btn--close): no aria-label or text contentMobile menu button (nav--menu-toggle): no accessible name"Overlink" links (a.overlink): links with valid href but without text content or aria-label — 3 occurrences identified by LighthouseAnchor #main-content: presents an id but no href or text3.3 Non-compliances – Parsing / Duplicate identifiers (WCAG 4.1.1)Several id attributes are duplicated on the page. This can disrupt the assistance technologies: id="block-erasme-theme-dropdown-language" — duplicate valueid="block-erasme-donation" — duplicate valueid="block-erasme-rdv" — duplicate value3.4 Non-compliances – Title structure (WCAG 1.3.1)The title hierarchy is not incorporated logically in certain page sections:  An h3 element (h3.highlighting--title) appears without a preceding h2 in  its section,  creating a level skipA paragraph containing text in <strong> ("Erasme") should use a title tag if this content plays the role of section title3.5 Non-compliances – Reflow (WCAG 1.4.10)Certain fixed content or stickies can cause a two dimensional flow when the page is zoomed to 400%:Manage content button (klaro_toggle_dialog): position:fixedHeader sticky (#sticky / .big-header-wrapper): position: fixedOverlay video (.reveal-overlay): position: fixed 4. Drawing up of statement This statement was drawn up on the basis of an automatic evaluation effected on 14 April 2026, with the assistance of the following tools:  Google Lighthouse 13.0.2 (emulation desktop, Chromium 146.0.0.0) – Accessibility score: 88/100HTML_CodeSniffer – Standard WCAG2AA – 33 errors, 40 alertsThis audit constitutes a simplified analysis. It only covers a subset of the EN 301 549 standard criteria and does not provide a basis for declaring the site fully compliant. Only an in-depth audit carried out by an accessibility expert would permit this level of compliance.   5. Contact and reporting If you encounter an accessibility problem on the www.erasme.be website, you can contact the responsible team: Using the contact form available on the website : https://www.erasme.be/en/contact-erasme By post: Hôpital Erasme, Route de Lennik 808, 1070 AnderlechtWe undertake to respond to your request within a reasonable time.  Complaints procedureIf you do not receive a satisfactory response from us you can submit a complaint to the control body designated by the royal decree of 5 September 2019:  SPF Stratégie et Appui (BOSA)Address : boulevard Simon Bolivar 30, bte 1, 1000 BruxellesWebsite : https://bosa.belgium.be/en/complaints Recours auprès du Médiateur fédéralSi la réponse du SPF Stratégie et Appui ne vous satisfait pas non plus, vous pouvez vous adresser au Médiateur fédéral :Médiateur fédéralAdresse : rue de Louvain 48, bte 6, 1000 BruxellesE-mail : contact [at] federalombudsman [dot] be (contact[at]federalombudsman[dot]be) Site web : https://www.mediateurfederal.be/en/homepage   6.

Your doctor will inform you of your probable discharge date as soon as possible. We ask you to vacate your room as early as possible before 11 am. You will be informed as soon as possible if additional examinations are going to delay the date or time of discharge. If you foresee any possible difficulties, please discuss them with your doctor or care team immediately on admission.  If you have transport problems, the hospital secretary will help you find a solution   (ambulance or taxi). Please do not leave behind any personal belongings. If you have to return for consultations, the hospital secretary will arrange your appointments. On the day of discharge you will receive a provisional hospitalisation report to be passed on to your GP. This contains all medical prescriptions and information needed for your continued treatment. If necessary, you will also receive a liaison file containing pertinent information for the various carers (physiotherapist, nurses, etc.). If you have complementary health insurance some insurers pay a daily allowance in case of hospitalisation on submission of a certificate of hospitalisation. To obtain this document, contact the hospital secretary before your departure or submit a request in writing to Admissions and they will send you a copy. This certificate can also serve for hospitalisation insurance. If you leave the hospital without the doctor's agreement you must first complete and sign the "requested discharge" document with which you will be provided.  To continuously improve our services you can answer our satisfaction questionnaire or send us an email to: Contact [dot] erasme [at] hubruxelles [dot] be.

What if our liver could tell the story of our daily life? An interview with Dr. Laura Weichselbaum, Gastroenterologist at H.U.B., who has just published an article on the topic in the Journal of Hepatology Reports. Read more. What if our liver holds the secrets of our everyday life? A discreet but vital organ, the liver is today at the heart of a silent health alert. Dr Laura Weichselbaum recently wrote an article published in “JHEP Reports” (Journal of Hepatology Reports) explaining that alcohol-related liver disease affects disproportionally those populations who are socially and economically disadvantaged. A reality that deserves to be examined with humanity, lucidity... and a sense of collective responsibility.   Risk behaviour related to life circumstancesContrary to what is often thought, it is not about enjoying fine wines or occasional drinking on festive occasions. It is rather habits such as binge drinking coupled with a poor diet, a high body mass index and also heavy smoking that combine to form a dangerous cocktail.   Such risk behaviour is often exacerbated by life circumstances marked by economic and social insecurity, limited access to healthcare and an entourage insufficiently informed of the risks.   “Today, many studies show that given the same alcohol consumption the damage to health is three times as high among disadvantaged people, even when other risk factors such as obesity or smoking are taken into account,”   says Dr Weichselbaum Healthcare inequalities The data show that alcohol-related liver disease is over-represented among disadvantaged populations. This is not necessarily attributable to a higher alcohol consumption but rather to a frequent and simultaneous exposure to a number of risk factors. What is more, when a liver disease develops there is often no screening to detect it at an early stage due to insufficient medical follow-up. “Liver  disease is a silent disease. It is our duty as healthcare staff to be aware of the lifestyle of our patients so as to propose an appropriate  care pathway and possibly suggest screening.”  Act early, act better for a more equitable healthThe good news? It is possible to act:By increasing awareness without blame, so that everyone can understand the risks and warning signs. By proposing a more accessible screening, in particular by making GPs and specialists more aware of the risks associated with socio-economic status. By encouraging the populations concerned to get screened and providing more information on the risks associated with alcohol. And if taxation became a lever for prevention?In some countries certain taxes have been levied to limit alcohol consumption.   “Perhaps we should convince our Belgian decision-makers to impose targeted taxes on alcoholic beverages or drinks designed to encourage binge drinking and thereby limit risk consumption while at the same time financing public health actions.”  Together, let’s look after our livers… Awareness, prevention and screening could avoid sometimes incurable liver disease. “I would remind you that while ideally alcohol consumption should be limited to a minimum, it is recommended not to drink more than 2 glasses a day for women and 3 for men.”   For further information or to schedule an appointment for a liver health screening, please contact the Department of Gastroenterology by email at Cons [dot] GastroMed [dot] erasme [at] hubruxelles [dot] be (Cons[dot]GastroMed[dot]erasme[at]hubruxelles[dot]be) or by phone at +32 (0)2 555 35 04.
