Unmet health-related needs for three selected health conditions in Belgium

NEED estimates for the appraisal of unmet health-related needs for three causes in Belgium. The identification of unmet health-related needs is crucial for the development of a needs-based healthcare policy and innovation. Meeting unmet needs is a common objective of many stakeholders in the health system. Although there is no single definition of unmet health-related needs, there is a consensus that these can be approached both from the perspective of the individual patient and from the societal perspective. To address this need, the KCE and Sciensano are conducting a national unmet health-related needs study. In this study, evidence related to unmet health-related needs are collected via a literature review, a patient interview, and a patient survey.
