Her department at St. Peter's Hospital in Brussels was the first in Belgium to apply the NIDCAP philosophy, a treatment for premature infants that artificially mimics the conditions of the uterus. Patients come from around the world to be treated at this hospital in the heart of Brussels.

Dr. Van Herreweghe's concerns go beyond the purely medical: she wants every child to be supported in the best way possible to ensure a stable, healthy and good start in life.

Thanks to fertile cross-pollination between biotech, medtech, pharmaceuticals and healthcare, Flanders offers a unique life sciences ecosystem that is underpinned by a robust financing landscape and a supportive government.
