Responsibility for students' health has been transferred to a network of GPs near the campuses: the aim is to ensure that the partner GPs see their students/patients as quickly as possible, even though they are not officially registered at the practice. These GPs charge a normal fee, which is then reimbursed for the most part by your health insurance fund.
The University of Antwerp has its own sport facilities on several campuses.
