Welcome !

Welcome to the European Medical Center, a clinic or group practice of general and specialized Medical Doctors and paramedical therapists, especially osteopaths and physiotherapists ("kinésithérapeutes").

There is also a blood sampling every morning. Please note that these samplings and swabs for testing for the SARS-CoV-2-virus are only possible with a prearranged appointment and that we have only limited capacities, unfortunately.

For further informations for testing, please consult MaSanté.Belgique.be, the Belgian federal site for your personal health, or for general informations regarding the Covid-19 crisis please go to info-coronavirus.be.

We have a secretary (reception), which is open from Monday to Friday between 8:30 and 17:00, but closed on Saturday, Sunday and official Belgian holidays. The reception is also open every day during the vacation/holiday seasons, but may be closed earlier on the afternoon in the holiday season.

Please note that you are obliged to wear a mask in our Center!

The reception can help you for all questions regarding our Center and our therapists and they can arrange appointments for most of the therapists - but some manage their schedules themselves and some accept also appointments via Doctena (EUMC) – please check below.

For any question, just call the secretary: 02 / 280.13.42, or send an email: e.m.c@skynet.be (Mail, but the answer may need one or two days).

Our Center is in the heart of the European quarter, in the neighborhood "quartier des Squares" in Brussels at Square Ambiorix 40, just 500 m away from Rond-point Schuman and its European institutions, metro and rail connections (see the plan of STIB, the Brussels' metro agency, as PDF, for Schuman). And a bus stop is directly in front of the Center at Square Ambiorix.

Our laboratory

We work with the renowned international laboratory Synlab, which is one of the largest and best in Belgium.

Please note that blood samplings and also swabs (frottis) for the PCR-detection of the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 are only possible with a prearranged appointment.

It is also again possible to do the nose-throat ("nasopharyngeal") swabs for the PCR test for the direct detection of the coronavirus (SARS-COV-2) without a medical prescription, for example for travelling or when coming back. But please note that any swab without a valid medical presricption has to be paid by yourself, there is no reimbursement of any health insurance. After the swab/sampling you get a code for finding the results online. Later, the laboratory will send you an invoice by post (or bills your Belgian insurance, "mutuelle", directly, if you have one and a valid medical prescription).

We do also again blood samples for serolgy to detect antibodies against the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, which proofs that you have had already the infection. This test is only possible with a valid medical prescription.

If you come for a "normal" testing, or a serology for SARS-CoV-2, our nurse takes blood. She performs also the swab and takes all kinds of samples (swabs, urine and others), which are collected several times every day by the laboratory. Usually the results are send to the ordering doctor already in the evening (except for special tests, which may take some days).

For a good organisation, make at first an appointment via our reception (02 / 280.13.42) for all blood samples, tests and swabs. Or you make your appointment online by Doctena (Link). Please come to our Center some 5-10 minutes in advance, not too early, and alone (only for children less than 12 years, one parent is authorised to accompany them). Please wear your mask in the Center. Show your Identity Card (either your Belgian or any other) and - if you have one - your medical prescription to the reception. At first you have to fill a form, which you can do in our supplementary waiting room. Afterwards the nurse does the swap or blood sampling. And that's it!

Thank you for your understanding!

Stay healthy!
