Who are we?

Be-cause health is an informal and pluralistic platform, which is open to institutional and individual members.

Be-cause health connects members from the following categories: 

  • Belgian academic institutes, services, schools for public health,
  • Belgian medical (and related) development organisations, NGOs and study bureaus,
  • goverment services involved in medical development cooperation and international healthcare,
  • organisations and associations who do not necessarily have development cooperation as a prority, but whose mandates overlap with international healthcare.  

An important aspect is that individuals too, involved in international healthcare and active in a Belgian context, can be a part of this platform: employees of Belgian organisations and institutes, development workers, management of partner organisations, alumni, individuals active in international organisations, immigrants involved in development cooperation, experts,..., in brief every one who is directly or indirectly involved in international health issues.

Be-cause health reaches about 200 e-mail adresses linked to about 50 organisations and institutes.
