Monitoring screening programs (Pap smears, breast cancer screening, colon cancer screening)
As a practice, we would like to encourage you to keep track of your screening status. This is especially important for maximum prevention and timely identification of serious conditions. For women under 30, the Pap smear should be repeated after 3 years; for those over 30, it should be repeated after 5 years (provided the last Pap smear was negative). Breast cancer screening should be repeated every 2 years for women between the ages of 50 and 69. Colon cancer screening is intended for men and women between the ages of 50 and 74 and should be repeated every 2 years. For more information about the various tests, you can also visit the following website: https://www.bruprev.be/nl/bruprev
You can check the results of your tests via myhealth.belgium.be. If you cannot find this information or are unsure when you had your last tests, please contact us by phone so we can review this together.

Viral infections: please wear a face mask
The number of viral infections is currently high. This means that more people are present in the waiting room at the same time. We kindly ask you to wear a face mask in the waiting room and during your consultation if you have symptoms such as coughing, sneezing, or fever, in order to protect yourself and others.

We also have a weekly phone schedule where you will always get a specific doctor on the line, so you can speak to the doctor you want to reach (see schedule below). This phone hour is daily from 2 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. We emphasize again that this telephone hour is for general information. For results of examinations, we will call you back or you should make an appointment to discuss. Only for emergencies you can always reach us on the telephone number 0486/78 65 87.
