Primary and Interdisciplinary Care (ELIZA)

Welcome

The "Primary and Interdisciplinary Care Antwerp" research group (ELIZA; Eerstelijns- en Interdisciplinaire Zorg Antwerpen) has a core mission to advance research in family medicine and integrated primary care. Our goal is to enhance the quality of primary care services and promote the well-being of both patients and caregivers while ensuring equitable access to these services. We are committed to pioneering, community-focused, interdisciplinary research that achieves international distinction.

  • Integrated care in primary and palliative care, internal medicine, geriatrics and for people with intellectual disability
  • Infectious diseases in primary care
  • Primary mental health and self-care
  • Disease prevention, health promotion and health literacy
  • Innovation of medical practice and medical education
  • Sarcopenia and frailty
