In the complex landscape of youth mental health, eating disorders (EDs) present significant challenges, requiring sustained attention and swift action. As June 2nd marks World Eating Disorders Action Day, raising awareness about the early detection and treatment of these devastating disorders is crucial What Are Eating Disorders? Eating disorders involve much more than just disturbed eating habits. They are psychiatric illnesses characterized by a dysfunctional relationship with food, weight, and body image. Predominantly observed in adolescents, these disorders can appear at any age and affect men as well. Anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder are among the most common forms, with profound impacts on an individual's physical and mental health.Early DetectionThe vigilance of parents and healthcare professionals is essential in identifying the early signs of EDs. Any changes in eating habits, an obsession with weight and appearance, and signs of social withdrawal and low self-esteem must be taken seriously. Early detection can prevent severe complications and improve the chances of recovery.Family-Based Therapy (FBT)For those who suspect the presence of an ED in their child or adolescent, prompt medical consultation is imperative. At Erasme Hospital and the Children's Hospital, Silvana Fuso, a specialist in EDs, offers an innovative approach with Family-Based Therapy (FBT). This method actively involves parents in the therapeutic process, providing crucial familial support for recovery.Read our page dedicated to this health issueContact InformationTo schedule an appointment with Silvana Fuso:Erasme Hospital: EMC Child and Adolescent ConsultationSecretariat: +32 2 555 32 96Appointment Request FormChildren's Hospital (Huderf)University Children's Hospital's Child Psychiatry Service: +32 2 477 3180Appointment Request Form

Did you know that 500,000 Belgians suffer from rare diseases? At the H.U.B., Professor Antoine Bondue, Director of the Rare Diseases Function (FMR), emphasises the importance of Belgian expertise and European networks. With over 7,000 rare diseases, patient recruitment is crucial for optimal care.  To increase the effectiveness of the care offered to patients suffering from rare diseases, the ULB and the H.U.B. are coordinating multidisciplinary consultations, encouraging hospital-ambulatory partnerships and insisting on the education of patients and their doctors.  Rare diseases are a major challenge for our healthcare system and a driving force for medical development. They require societal restructuring and support for innovative treatments.  For more information: https://www.radiorg.be/fr/

A nursing team by your side to treat wounds, support people with a digestive stoma bag, and ensure appropriate nutrition. Excellence in Care The mission of our clinical nursing team is based on three pillars — expertise, versatility, and resources — through which we apply a 360-degree vision. At the heart of the care pathway, we act as a link between the hospital, external partners, and the home. In complex situations, we anticipate, advise, and propose concrete solutions. Our goal: to facilitate each step of the care pathway and ensure a safe return home. Image Image Image A team with diverse and highly specialized expertise Composed of nurses specialized in wound care, stomatherapy, and clinical nutrition, our team mobilizes advanced skills to ensure high-quality care. Keeping our knowledge up to date and sharing best practices with healthcare professionals are part of our responsibilities. Beyond clinical practice, our team supports patients throughout their care journey through therapeutic education, practical explanations, and logistical follow-up. A key link in patient care management We are resource persons, a connecting link within a multidisciplinary dynamic, both in the hospital and at home. Our role is to anticipate, prevent, and adjust the care of each patient with wounds, stoma bags, and nutritional tubes. We also strive to facilitate contacts, clarify follow-up, and support communication between the various stakeholders to ensure optimal continuity of care. In summary: we go beyond care — we adapt our expertise to each patient and bring together all healthcare actors around integrated care. Our care areas Within the hospital, we follow our patients during hospitalization and in outpatient consultations.Wound care: establish a care or prevention protocol for complex wounds, help adapt ongoing treatment, in multidisciplinary collaboration (physician, dietitian).Stomatherapy: follow-up of patients with a stoma (wearing a pouch), appliance-related issues, flow management, education, management of difficult drain fittings, discharge equipment.Clinical nutrition: enteral and parenteral nutrition (via a feeding tube or central venous catheter). The multidisciplinary team initiates it in the hospital and then adapts it for home care. Our role within an academic hospital Within the Brussels University Hospital (H.U.B), our team is actively committed to continuous improvement of care through training, practice evaluation, and the development of quality protocols via:Training (audits, evaluations, care protocols)Therapeutic education and connection with the patient-partner programPrevention and management protocols for complications (e.g., pressure ulcer prevention), risk factor assessment, and management of complex wounds through our expertise in innovative therapeutic approachesData recording Our team Head nurse: Asuncion Ballarin  Image Clinical nutrition nurse Erasmus HospitalAsuncion Ballarin, Stomatherapy nurse, clinical nutritionValérie Burion Jules Bordet InstituteIngrid Amorison   Wound care and stomatherapy nurse Erasmus HospitalAgathe Ducrocq: Stomatherapy nurse, wound care clinicianEduarda Meira: Stomatherapy nurse, wound care clinicianVéronique Duthie: Stomatherapy nurse, wound care clinicianJules Bordet Institut eAurore Mauen: Stomatherapy nurse, wound care clinician, oncology specialistMarlène Pacheco: Stomatherapy nurse, wound care clinician  Resources and useful links [HEALTH SHEET] Defunctioning stoma: understanding, living with it, and knowing …

June is Infertility Awareness Month. On this occasion, the H.U.B is launching a new campaign and offering a wide range of activities designed to inform and engage both the public and healthcare professionals on the issues surrounding infertility and its treatment. Image Infertility now affects a growing number of people in Belgium, with approximately one in six couples experiencing fertility difficulties during their lifetime. Still often considered a taboo subject, infertility can have a profound emotional, social, and psychological impact. Its causes are varied, affecting both women and men, and in some cases remain unexplained. Despite major medical advances, access to information and support remains unequal. Raising awareness about infertility is essential to break the silence and better support those concerned.For this reason, during Infertility Awareness Month, the experts of the H.U.B Fertility and MAR Clinic are mobilising and offering a series of activities for the public and healthcare professionals. These events will provide an opportunity to learn more about infertility, the diseases that can affect fertility (cancer, endometriosis, PCOS, etc.), the available treatments and care pathways, but above all to share personal journeys and stories, helping those experiencing difficulties conceiving to feel supported and less alone.
