History

The Saint-Elisabeth nursing school (today called the ECNAS, École Namuroise de soins Sainte-Élisabeth) was founded by royal decree in 1922, by the Sisters of Charity in the village of Salzinnes, on Charles Zoude street, [7] which still today leads to the Sainte-Élisabeth site. The Foyer Saint-François palliative care centre was founded south of the Sainte-Élisabeth site in 1989. [8]

In 1903, a sanatorium opened in Mont-sur-Meuse (Yvoir), and was bought in 1919 by the National Alliance of Christian Mutual Societies (ANMC). [14] The Mont-Godinne hospital in Yvoir was then founded on January 1, 1928, by the non-profit organization Solidarité Mutualiste Chrétienne, [15] a member of the ANMC. Its headquarters are located at 1031 Brussels (postal code reserved for Christian associations). In 1967, an agreement was signed between Solidarité Mutualiste Chrétienne and the Catholic University of Louvain, still established in Louvain (Leuven). [16] Since then, the hospital has maintained privileged links with the Université catholique de Louvain and its Dutch-speaking equivalent, the Katholieke Universiteit te Leuven. [14] Its 300 beds became university beds in the counting by the Ministry of Public Health. [17] In 2004, the Mont-Godinne hospital changed its name to Cliniques universitaires UCL de Mont-Godinne, in reference to UCLouvain's Saint-Luc University Hospital (Cliniques universitaires Saint-Luc) on the Brussels campus of UCLouvain Bruxelles Woluwe. [18] The hospital changed its name once again to become the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire (CHU) Mont-Godinne in 2011, still jointly managed by UCLouvain and the Christian Mutual Societies.

The Dinant Hospital Centre (Centre hospitalier de Dinant, CHD) was founded on 15 May 1987 as a public hospital of the City of Dinant. Its functioning is initially governed by the municipality's Public Social Action Centre (CPAS). [19] In 2012, the CHU Mont-Godinne in Yvoir merged with the Centre hospitalier de Dinant, forming the CHU UCL Mont-Godinne Dinant (CHU-UCL-MGD). [20]

Mergers are necessary to comply with the "healthcare basin" policy desired by the regional and federal governments. [21]

In 2015, the CHU-UCL-MGD and the Clinique et Maternité Saint-Élisabeth in Namur merged into the Centre hospitalier universitaire Dinant Godinne Saint-Elisabeth - UCL-Namur, [22] a new structure with 5 different hospital facilities. [23] The institution's headquarters is maintained in Mont-Godinne, Yvoir. [24] From that moment, the UCLouvain Namur University Hospital became the largest employer in the province of Namur. [5] The entire CHU UCLouvain Namur is recognized as university hospital and attached to UCLouvain, but only the 300 beds of Mont-Godinne are counted as "university beds". [23]

Since 2017, thanks to a biomass gasification process, the Mont-Godinne site is powered by clean energy from ecological production. [25]

From November 2018 onwards, to face the shortage of doctors in rural areas of northern France, specialists from the Godinne and Dinant sites are also at work in the French municipality of Givet, in the small Givet Medical Center. [13] 15% of the patients at the Dinant site are French. [26]

At the scientific level, the UCLouvain Namur University Hospital is linked with the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry (MEDE) of the University of Louvain, established on the UCLouvain Brussels Woluwe campus. However, the hospital also maintains relations with the nearby Faculty of Medicine of the University of Namur (UNamur). [27] It de facto serves as a teaching hospital for both universities.[ citation needed ]
