Symposium for gynecologists & fertility doctors: 40 years LIFE

This year we celebrate the 40th anniversary of the URG (Reproductive Medicine Unit) service. This is a  special moment not only to reflect on the many breakthroughs and evolutions within fertility treatments over the years, but also to cast our gaze ahead to the future of reproductive medicine.
The specialists of the reproductive medicine unit of the Heilig Hart Regional Hospital have put together an inspiring program designed especially for fellow specialists in fertility and gynecology. 
We hope to greet you in large numbers at this special time to exchange knowledge and experiences together.
