Main themes
The juridical analysis of the health system in Belgium constitutes the subject matter of the course. This one focuses on the regulation and financing modes through which the authorities manage the exercise of the health practices. In this context, can be analyzed - the lawfulness conditions, organization and supervision of the exercise of the health professions and of the medical practices known as "non conventional", including the organization of the possible professional orders ; - the administrative and financial organization, running and supervision of the health institutions - like hospitals, "medical homes" and old people's homes -, as well as the "approbation" of health instruments and the electronic centralization of health data ; - the organization of medicines' delivery.
Aims
At the end of the course, the student has to be able : - to have a detailed knowledge regarding the administrative and financial organization, running and supervision of the health system in Belgium, including their implications in European law ; - to apply this knowledge to practical situations ; - to make critical observations in relation with the solutions imposed by the in force rules. The course is based on participatory teaching methods (learning through projects or problems, review of the relevant case-law and doctrine, debates with guest speakers, field studies ...) which allow the students to develop independently a critical, forward-looking and inventive look on public international law. Students are encouraged to participate and to get involved in learning, which has both an individual and a collective dimension.
