Starting at the end of January 2025, AZ Oostende will move all emergency care to its Damian campus. The hospital will combine the emergency departments from Sint-Jan and Damian into one place. This change aims to make services better and help patients more quickly.
The goal is to reduce waiting times and improve how emergency care works. By joining resources like staff and equipment, the hospital can avoid repeating services and work better together. This new setup will help patients get urgent care faster in a place that is ready for emergencies.

Emergency doctor Thierry Schissler talked about the benefits of having all emergency services in one place. He said this would make treatment faster and better. The Damian campus will be the main centre for urgent care. This will help medical teams work well together. The change will also fix some problems and make sure patients get care in a good facility. AZ Oostende wants to improve care and meet the healthcare needs of the community.
“Thanks to the bundling of resources and expertise at one location, emergency patients will have faster access to urgent care,”
says emergency physician Thierry Schissler.
The emergency department at AZ Oostende’s Damian campus will treat about 49,000 patients each year. Authorities mentioned that by putting all emergency care in one place, the hospital can better handle the growing need for urgent medical help. It will also allow for better use of resources like staff and equipment.
According to the emergency doctor Thierry Schissler, the changes will lower waiting times and improve care quality. He explained that care will be more suited to patients’ needs. More doctors will be added to help reduce waiting times and offer better service. With more medical staff available, the new department can treat more patients while keeping a high standard of care.
