Clinique Saint-Jean

Contents

The Clinique Saint-Jean (French) or Kliniek Sint-Jan (Dutch), meaning "St. John's Clinic", and historically known as the Saint-Jean-op-de-Poel Hospital, is a private non-profit general hospital in central Brussels, Belgium. Founded in 1195,[1] it is Brussels' oldest hospital.[2] Its medical facility was started in 1838 and completed in 1843, across from the Botanical Garden of Brussels on the Boulevard du Jardin botanique/Kruidtuinlaan.[3][4]

Through the eight centuries of its existence, the Clinique Saint-Jean has been the founder of other major hospitals in the Brussels-Capital Region and of two nursing schools. It is currently part of the Réseau Santé Louvain network of the Université catholique de Louvain (UCLouvain).[5]
