What is the BHS?

The Belgian Hematological Society (BHS) was founded in 1985 in the setting of a rapidly evolving specialty and spectacular progresses achieved over the last two decades.
BHS is a scientific society composed of more than 200 members: internists, biologists, and other scientists with a specific interest in the field of hematology.

The major aims of our association are:

  • to organise the annual scientific and high quality educational congress in Belgium
  • to harmonize specialty training in Belgium with other European countries
  • to promote collaboration between academic and non-academic hospitals
  • to promote national trials (BHS subcommittees) with a possible support from BHS
  • to establish national guidelines in various blood, bone marrow and lymphatic system disorders
  • to contribute to the registration and reimbursement of new agents and new techniques in Belgium
  • to offer travel grants to young scientists or young doctors
  • to stimulate the national registry of rare diseases
