You will receive an invoice from the hospital for any consultations. This will usually take one to two months after your appointment. Read more about this invoice here.

If, after the consultation and any further examinations, it appears that a hospital admission will be necessary, a suitable schedule will be drawn up together with the secretarial assistant. Find out more about your child's hospitalisation through the leaflet below:
